Formed on an Anvil - Exodus 2

Authority is a powerful word that we like to scale to size. Like the man in Exodus 2, when we are caught with our hand in the cookie jar, we go on the defensive (passive but aggressive) and say, "Who made you the boss of me?" We scale down authority and excuse our innate rebellion. Caught and still defiant? Can we identify with the man who was confronted and still stubborn? What God uncovers for us in Exodus 2 is a heart matter that all of us face. And we face it in the mirror. God provides a great leader, but no matter how great the leader, if we will not yield, the leader will fail. The focus of Exodus 2 is not the credentials of the leader but the inclination of the heart of the man caught. This is the blunt truth: no one can make you follow. Confronted with the facts, unless we yield, we stay stuck. Today, Pastor Dave Marttunen continues his series, The Journey: A Series in Exodus, with Part #2 entitled, “Formed On An Anvil”.
