Concentration

Exodus 2:11 “Moses went out unto his brethren, and looked on their burdens.”

Moses saw the oppression of the Jewish people, his people. God had a job for Moses regarding this situation. Chambers writes, “In the beginning Moses realized that he was the man to deliver the people, but he had to be trained and disciplined by God first. He was right in the individual aspect, but he was not the man for the work until he had learned communion with God.”

God has something for each one of us to do, but we cannot possibly do that thing without Him. When we try to operate in our own strength, we lose sight of Him. Concentrating on God—going vertical—and the truth of His word is the single most important act any of us can do. All other focus is temporal and can divert us from Him. Sometimes He will lead us through the wilderness to wander a while, and sometimes He will meet us on the mountaintop. However, if we are always keeping our focus on Him, He will lead us exactly where we are meant to be.
