Great Adventures

  Yahweh said to Aaron, 'Go into the wilderness to meet Moses.' He went, and met him on God's mountain, and kissed him. Moses told Aaron all the words of Yahweh with which he had sent him, and all the signs with which he had charged him. Exodus 4:27 WEB
  
  The Lord spoke to Aaron and told him to go meet his brother Moses in the wilderness. We do not really know what Aaron was doing when the Lord first spoke to him. I am sure that he had plans for the afternoon like we all do. He may have been at home, or out gathering straw to make bricks. After all, he was a slave in Egypt.
  
  Aaron had not seen his brother Moses in a long time. Though Moses had been raised by Pharaoh's daughter in Egypt, he had to leave after killing an Egyptian slave driver that was beating a Hebrew. After that Moses lived in exile, while Aaron and their sister Miriam had remained in Egypt. Forty years passed by.
  
  Then the day came when the Lord told Aaron to go meet his little brother, and when he did, a life changing adventure began for all of them. Aaron could not have known what was coming, how he would become an important part of changing the known world, and witness miracle after miracle. It all started by hearing the voice. Jesus said 'My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me' (John 10:27). We know that God spoke to Moses, but we often forget that he spoke to Aaron as well.
  
  Everything starts with a first step. God prompts you to do something, a door opens, and you take that step. When you obey, another door will open and you take another step. The adventure will not begin until you take step one, and you will not see step two, until you have completed the first one. So if you feel God prompting you today to do something: take the first step towards making it happen. If Aaron had not, he would have missed the greatest adventure of his life.
  
  Prayer: Heavenly Father I thank You for all that You have done for me, and for bringing me this far. Please give me a clear vision of what You have for me, and show me where my time is best spent. Lead me into adventures for You, in the name of Jesus Christ I pray.
  
  Note: For those following our Creation Photographers group, here is the theme of the week: Matthew 25:35 (NIV) "For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in". This week's fun theme will be ' When Strangers Smile'. Show us what it looks like to you when a stranger is kind or when you are kind to a stranger. Our themes are open for interpretation so do get creative! You are also encouraged to post anything else that inspires you as well. My photos today (in the group) reflect when a group of strangers came together to benefit the camp-fire victims. May you all be blessed when strangers smile and may you all be the blessing smiling on others! Here is the link: Creation Photographers
