Scripture: Exodus 2: 11-12
Many years later, when Moses had grown up, he went out to visit his own people, the Hebrews, and he saw how hard they were forced to work. During his visit, he saw an Egyptian beating one of his fellow Hebrews. After looking in all directions to make sure no one was watching, Moses killed the Egyptian and hid the body in the sand.
Observation:
Moses got angry at an Egyptian for beating a Hebrew, how did he handle his anger?
He killed the Egyptian and then tried to hide the body.
Even though Moses handled his anger in a really bad way, his anger was motivated by his love for his fellow Hebrews—he couldn’t stand their persecution.
Moses’ anger revealed his passion—setting the Israelites free—which God later made is his mission.
Application:
Can you think of anything that makes you angry for a good reason?
God could have placed that anger there so you would be motivated to action—just make sure it’s the right action!
What can you do to take action against what makes you angry?
Prayer:
Take some time to think about and pray about what makes you angry. Let God use those feelings for good—to make a positive difference. Be open to God using your life in ways that you haven’t expected…and thank him for any opportunities he gives you to do good for him.
