If I were to live for 40 years and of 40 years of what I know and what I experience and all that has shaped me at that age, I would have thought how I would be so sure of myself and can never change.
Just trying to imagine me hitting 40 and the depth of what I have made myself into and what I want for life would be so fixed that it would almost be impossible to be something that I have not been for the past 40 years.
Moses lived 40 years in royalty, but in a moment of integrity and anger, he made a snap decision that left him wandering away from the life he knew and hide for the next 40 more years.
40 more years!... is another whole chunk of life that can alter another way of life. But it took that time for God to change the heart and mind of Moses. But more importantly, it took that time when Moses would be in a state to have loosen his own vision for his life and stand clean for a better vision. That vision even though more fully aware by Moses, was the very vision that would launch him to a life beyond what he imagined.
I have goals for my life, we all do. But the vision of our goal needs to be submitted to God for testing in order to be meaningful. I struggle to submit my vision and allow for His to come through but I will not stop until I have fully surrendered all of it.
