Several factors come into play in the execution of any task or life mission. One of these is right method. In our days that will probably go for right technology. In addition, it is important having the right person handle the right task. In our previous meditation, we noted that David suffered a casualty while trying to carry the ark into Jerusalem. The problem was employing wrong method. Instead of commanding the Levites to undertake the task, he put the ark on a new cart. Another factor for success is making a move at the right time.

Don’t only acquire the best technology and hire the best brain, also learn to wait on God for appointed times.

The story of Moses is a reminder that we can mess up a mission if we make a go at it prematurely. You can neatly divide his history into three equal parts. The first forty years of his life saw him raised in Pharaoh’s court as a prince. The next forty years was the period of exile when he had to flee from the wrath of Pharaoh after killing an Egyptian. The last forty years was his prophetic ministry when he delivered Israel from Egyptian bondage and led them across the Red Sea. Was his time in the wilderness part of the determinate counsel of God for his life? By determinate counsel we mean what of a necessity must take place as ordained by God. There is no thread of Scriptures that Moses was predestined for the wilderness; he ended up there because of his blind zeal. When he killed the Egyptian to side with an Israelite, Pharaoh sought to kill him in revenge. Fleeing was the only option he had left. In other words, if he had not killed the man, he probably would not have been a fugitive. Our text says that God makes all things beautiful in His time. Don’t only acquire the best technology and hire the best brain, also learn to wait on God for appointed times.
