Willing to Choose.

Exodus 2:11-15

¹¹ One day, after Moses had grown up, he went out to where his own people were and watched them at their hard labor. He saw an Egyptian beating a Hebrew, one of his own people. ¹² Glancing this way and that and seeing no one, he killed the Egyptian and hid him in the sand. ¹³ The next day he went out and saw two Hebrews fighting. He asked the one in the wrong, "Why are you hitting your fellow Hebrew?"

¹⁴ The man said, "Who made you ruler and judge over us? Are you thinking of killing me as you killed the Egyptian?" Then Moses was afraid and thought, "What I did must have become known."

¹⁵ When Pharaoh heard of this, he tried to kill Moses, but Moses fled from Pharaoh and went to live in Midian, where he sat down by a well.

When Moses helped the Hebrew Moses chose God over Pharaoh. He chose to help one of "his own" over the riches of Egypt. Moses Chose to Identify himself with God.

You have to be willing to tell people about what you are, and if you're willing to tell people its going to cost you something in this world. It might even be something you like. In Moses case it was Status and Riches.

We've all given up something for the call at one time or another. But we've also ignored the call at some time or another. Don't ignore the call. Evaluate the cost but anticipate the payout. Because Christ pays out more than you'll ever pay.
