to reject this idea, the language of our world reflects it regularly. 

We hear that we are to ‘follow our heart’ and ‘find our passion’.  We

are supposed to ‘do what we were made to do’. Disconnecting these ideas

from a purposeful Creator doesn’t make a lot of sense.  But even when we

understand the concept that we have a purpose in this life, we can make

choices and take paths that seem to destroy the possibility of

fulfilling that purpose.  Many people have indeed rejected the potential

and calling of their lives. But what happens when you’ve messed up

really bad, and then you want to find redemption?  Is that even

possible?  How much do our mistakes downgrade the potential of our

lives?  The story of Moses actually begins with this very string of

events.  He was made for a purpose, but he blew it. As we look at this

story in our study through Exodus, we’ll see that God is able to do more

with our mistakes than we ever imagined.
