Moses first attempt to fulfill God’s call was a disaster and he ended up as a fugitive for the next forty years! When he was eighty years old the Lord appeared to him a second time. The Lord said, “The cry of the Israelites has reached me, and I have seen the way the Egyptians are oppressing them. So now, go. I am sending you to Pharaoh to bring my people the Israelites out of Egypt” (Exodus 3:9-10).

Moses has many things to teach us, but none is more important than this. No matter how miserably you may have failed the Lord isn’t finished with you.

“He will respond to the prayer of the destitute; he will not despise their plea.”

— Psalms 102:17 (NIV 1984)

Lord, thank You for second chances. Amen.
