It’s been said, “I am only one, but I am one. I cannot do everything, but I can do something. What I can do, I ought to do. What I ought to do, with the grace of God, I will do.” One godly man or one godly woman in the darkest situation can make a big difference. Jesus said, “You are the salt of the earth, but if the salt has lost its flavor, what good is it?” Just a pinch of salt can make all the difference.
Practical Principles
- Moses made important decisions at the beginning of his life. There are pivotal moments of decision in our lives that can make all the difference as to how we end up.
- You have a closer relationship with God than Moses had. You have an access to God that the Old Testament prophets didn’t have. You have a closer relationship with God even greater than Moses had, because Moses did not have Christ living in his heart like you do.
Relevant Reminders
- Whatever you have given up to follow Christ will be more than made up for in this life and in the life to come.
- The evening of your life is determined by the morning of your life.
- The depth of your sorrow, when you lose a loved one, is an indication of the depth of your love.
Applicable Actions
The power of one man made all the difference. Moses lived a godly life and had personal integrity. He, in effect, kept 2.5 million people from full-tilt idolatry. Let me ask you: What kind of difference is your life making? What kind of legacy are you leaving?
