OF.... MEN and MIS-TAKES (Finale) ... Buried Alive

Ex 2:13-15; And when he went out the second day, behold, two Hebrew men were fighting, and he said to the one who did the wrong, "Why are you striking your companion?" 14 Then he said,"Who made you a prince and a judge over us? Do you intend to kill me as you killed the Egyptian?" So Moses feared and said, "Surely this thing is known!" ~ NKJV

I like to sort out things and hope that somewhat when am done, I will be safe and resting soundly not having to EVER deal with them AGAIN. Have you ever wondered how what you were sure was done and dusted seems far from over? You deal secretly with your addiction and hope that when you come out to meet men, you will smile and carry on with your usual dealings like nothing ever happened..? Does everything we bury deep inside the sands of our hearts die?? Buried Alive, an understanding of how we wrestle secretly with weakness and yet it often gets a chance to sneak through the deep sands seeking placement in our daily lives.

So the Prince, Moses, walks out the very next day and sees a fight, this time different from the previous one, the burden in his heart is even greater and so he tries to sort out the mess on the outside while struggling with a similar mess on the inside... Oh, how i encounter this on a daily!! When some one moves to you and asks you how everyone in your family seemed happy and points out that you are the ideal family - haha!! OR when you are ever smiling and thus appear to be free from all forms of weakness and DIS-EASE. Isn't it ironic that what one group of people may soundly know you for the other group finds the inadequate within you..? At home, you're the lazy, quarrelsome and noisy child yet among your friends your the "coolest person they know - because you're hardworking and calm." A friend of mine recently referred to it as 'MULTI-PERSONALITY'. Of course, I think we all find a comfortable place to settle within the English language hahaha.

"Who made you a prince and a judge over us? Do you intend to kill me as you killed the Egyptian?" The kind of questions that bring all that is buried underneath, alive again. When your present situation demands an explanation of your past indulgences... One that I often hear within the corridors is when the one you are dating points to your past relationships as a reason for your current behavior. Every once in a while, your past stretches out an arm to get a hold of you and when it does, its that which was buried alive that keeps coming back to haunt you. The royalty in you is then put to the ultimate test, one that we so often fail and are left in regret not because of the current state in which we are but often because of that which we did in the past... That you may teach me to make the most of my time that I may apply my heart unto wisdom. I often refer to this wisdom that awakens you to the truth that TODAY is the YESTERDAY that TOMORROW will refer to..

So Moses feared and said, "Surely this thing is known!" It always surprises me that after all the time we put into burying the Egyptians in our lives, the Israelite has been watching us all along. Surely the things we think are hidden are KNOWN... most certainly before God and, assuredly too, before men. WHAT DO YOU HAVE BURIED in the sands of your life...? 

Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth. And straightway the father of the child cried out, and said with tears, Lord, I believe; help thou mine unbelief.
