TODAY’S INSIGHT – 8TH AUGUST 2023.
Then the LORD became angry with Moses. “All right,” he said. “What about your brother, Aaron the Levite? I know he speaks well. And look! He is on his way to meet you now. He will be delighted to see you. Talk to him, and put the words in his mouth. I will be with both of you as you speak, and I will instruct you both in what to do. (Exodus 4:14–15)
Do you know what God did? He accommodated Moses’ desire. But the compromise was less than the best; brother Aaron proved to be an albatross around his neck. It was Aaron who got impatient while Moses was on the mountain and created a golden calf for the people to worship. It was he who told the people, “This is your god, O Israel, who brought you up from the land of Egypt” (Exodus 32:4).
As you read these words, you may sense God’s nudge to step out on faith in a plan that seems risky at best. You don’t have all the answers. You don’t know the hows and whys and wherefores of what God has in mind. From a human point of view, the prospects look rather bleak. Do you know what our tendency is? It’s to take someone with us. Somehow, that keeps us from having to put our full trust in the Lord’s plan; we can lean on that gifted friend or companion we’ve brought along with us.
How many men have gone into a business partnership and lived to regret the day they chose that partner? How many women have engaged in pursuits with a companion they wish they had never asked to join them? God’s call is a serious, individual matter. While I believe with all my heart in accountability, God’s call does not lend itself to the buddy system or to group excursions. And before you bring any other individual along with you to fulfill that call, or before you join a team, you must make absolutely certain in your heart that each one has the same vision beating in his or her heart that you do.
If not, then take this advice, my friend: Go it alone. Follow God’s voice without distraction.
God was finally willing to say to Moses, “All right, all right, have it your way. I’ll send Aaron, too, but it isn’t My best, Moses. The day will come when you will wish you’d followed My call on your own. You don’t really need Aaron; all you need is Me.”
