THE VALUE OF EXPERIENCES;

Most times what we term worst experience, actually has the best outcome.

No experience is ever a waste. God will use every situation that has happened to you, in you and around you, to showcase His glory. In the book of Exodus, Moses was hidden from Pharoahs assasins,  he was put in a basket and nursed in an egptian home, to learn the culture/art and style of egypt. And  if he was going to be the man to lead Israel into the promise land, then he had to be experienced/skilled in the culture of egypt. But he knew he didnt belong there and when he saw an egyptian and an israelite fighting, he came to the aid of the israelite and in the process killed the egytian(Ex 2:12).

But dont be deceived, being nice to people does not necessarily mean you will be repaid your kindness by same people. This is the reason why so many relationships come to an abrupt end. However sowing the right seed produces the right attitude in the individual, and brings about lasting success and fulfillment. The next day however when Moses observes two israelites fighting, he wonders how two individuals with same history/culture and most importantly God can end up having so muuch differences that lead to a physical outburst of emotions, but on attempting to reconcile these individuals, he got told off, and then he realised that the murder he committed was no longer a secret. How often do we act because we think we wont be discovered?? *THINK LONGTERM*

However with God, He will use every situation, to bring forth His plan/purpose for an individual/people/family/nation. Moses had to learn humility, and by that he had to run away to tend sheep with the man who became his father-in-law, Jethro.
The seperation brought about his personal development and most importantly for the very first time in his life, he had an amazing ecounter with God. All this prepared the man, who led the most difficult people on the earth as at the time.

If we recall the account of Joseph who had different dreams of how he would be adored by his siblings/family, the revelations were no match of what he passed through, from being sold into slavery out of hatred by his brothers, to being falsely accused by portiphars wife, to being forgotten in the prison by the kings butler. But in all, the plan and purpose of God was fulfilled. "The vision is for an appointed time, wait for it because it will come to pass and not tarry".

In life, we pass through different situations, some make us cry, some make us overjoyed, some fill us with fear, some with hate. Sometimes we loose our confidence/ our sense of judgment/sense of reasoning and sometimes its so bad that we almost tend to loose hope. But from all we read, we understand that if we are aligned to His will, every circumstance/experience/situation/ is intended to bring us towards our destiny and to that place of rest.
Hold on, be strong, it will not rain forever, dont make a hasty decision that has a lasting impact on your destiny as a result of the temporary events of the present.
