We know that our Creator made us with a purpose in mind. While many try 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.
