EXODUS 2:10. “And the child grew, and she brought him unto Pharaoh’s daughter, and he became her son. And she called his name Moses: and she said, ‘Because I drew him out of the water.’” HOLY MOSES. Caring parents who knew the value of a child- A mother who knew uniqueness when she saw it- Quiet crooning in a far corner when the baby was awake- But he grew, and so did his voice. Holy Moses – set apart for God from his birth!
An act of careful calculation – slime and pitch applied – Until waterproof – it really did float – the ark that is – And in a safe watery place he lies With watching eyes – now from a distance – Holy Moses – set apart from the crowd!
Dark Egyptian eyes watch, and careful hands lift the lid – A loud infant cry and hearts all around melt with love; The child, pre-ordained is raised in the fear of God – Then taken to “The Big House” and named, “Drawn Out.” Holy Moses – set apart from his family!
An act in haste from a man well-grown – The distance increasing in miles and culture – A king-leader in training becomes a shepherd in learning. Lessons are unlearned and learned, in God’s school. Holy Moses – set apart to give form to and lead a nation!
“Be ye holy for I am holy,” God speaks to me. A difference obvious to both eye and ear,
Is expected from all who march to the heavenly drum-beat. Separate in morality, spirituality – even in culture – A holy people, a holy nation, a holy priesthood - and I am one with them!
“O God, I know this is not a trivial work I am involved in, even though there are times when it doesn’t seem like much is being accomplished. Please keep me from forming my walk, words and work by those around me. I need daily power to walk in the light in fellowship with Thee, with my Blessed Lord and with His people. I pray in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, Amen.”
