Moses led the flock when he should have been leading people. When you are running from God and not living out his intention, you do less than you were created to do. I want God to engage in a conversation with me about my needs, where I am. It shouldn't at least be the opening conversation. Guide begins here with Moses. I am sending you to pharaoh to bring my people, the Israelites, out of Egypt. Moses, there's a calling on your life, and now it's time to step up to it.

Joshua follows Moses. Sometimes when everything goes bad in our life, we actually relinquish our intention rather than embrace it. Jonah is the story of a person who knew God's intention but chose not to live it out. And here's the crazy thing about being a human. We can violate and reject the intention God gave it.

Everything God creates is under his intention. Wouldn't it be better to align your life with the intention for which you were created, so the whole universe will be in your favor? Have you ever noticed how much energy we lose when we're unhappy?
