Bible in a Year:
Moses was afraid and thought, “What I did must have become known.”
The crime was shocking, and the man who committed it was sentenced to life in prison. In the years that followed, the man—in solitary confinement—began a process of mental and spiritual healing. It led to repentance and a restored relationship with Jesus. These days he’s been allowed limited interactions with other inmates. And, by God’s grace, through his witness some fellow prisoners have received Christ as Savior—finding forgiveness in Him.
Moses, though now recognized as a great man of faith, also committed a shocking crime. After he witnessed “an Egyptian beating a Hebrew,” he looked “this way and that” and “killed the Egyptian” (Exodus 2:11–12). Despite this sin, God in His grace wasn’t done with His imperfect servant. Later, He chose Moses to free His people from their oppression (3:10). In Romans 5:14, we read, “Death reigned from the time of Adam to the time of Moses, even over those who did not sin by breaking a command.” But in the following verses Paul states that “God’s grace” makes it possible for us, regardless of our past sins, to be changed and made right with Him (vv. 15–16).
We might think that what we’ve done disqualifies us from knowing God’s forgiveness and being used for His honor. But because of His grace, in Jesus we can be changed and set free to help others be changed for eternity.
Reflect & Pray
How has God and His grace changed you? What are the changes He’s calling you to make these days?
Heavenly Father, thank You for Your life-changing grace.
Route 90--Clarence "Bon Ton" Garlow (1954)
Born To Be Wild.
I'll list four of them right off the top of my head:
The Boys of Summer (Don Henley) -- epic music video and one of the most iconic lines in a song: "Out on the road today I saw a Deadhead sticker on a Cadillac."
Eighteen Wheels And A Dozen Roses (Kathy Mattea) -- one of the greatest country music tunes by a female vocalist.
Melissa (Allman Brothers) -- great melancholy reflection on the lonely life of a trucker.
Like A Rock (Bob Seger & The Silver Bullet Band -- maybe the greatest advertising theme song ever, for Chevrolet trucks.
“One Piece At A Time” - Johnny Cash
Hot Rod Shotgun Boogie #2--Tillman Franks & His Timberline Riders (1951)
