The journey continues with the children of Israel. In this message, God leads His children from deliverance to consecration to adoption. As adopted children He teaches them about His love as a good Father and His Abiding Presence.

Paul wrote to the church at Corinth, the lives of the children of Israel serve as examples for us.  Not all were examples to follow.  Some were examples to avoid.  The example of Jochebed, the biological mother of Moses is a great example to learn from.  Jochebed was a woman of great courage.  Parenting is not for cowards.  Jochebed was a woman of great faith.  Parenting is not for the fainthearted.  She was a woman of great creativity.  Parenting is not for the lazy.  Jochebed was a woman of great trust.  Parenting is not for the doubtful.  Though present in the life of Moses for only an abbreviated season, Jochebed established a strong foundation for Moses to build his life upon.

The Apostle Paul wrote to the Corinthian the importance of self-discipline to assist in finishing the race.  He compares the life of a believer to a runner in an athletic competition.  A believer and an both have purpose.  As believers, we are not in this life to randomly walk through it – we have purpose and destiny.  To finish our race we must have self-control, self-government and intentional discipline.  We must continue seeking God and be actively engaged in the Christian life.
