Courage is fear moving forward. By our nature, we are protective of self and often absorbed in ourselves and the world as it interacts with us. God wants us to go beyond ourselves to the greater role of shepherds of His flock. I wish it were easy to go beyond self and care for others. I find it very difficult. That is what God is teaching Moses and continues to teach us - the LOVE transcends all there is in this life. Pray for courage every day. Pray for faith to be strengthened in order to do God's will.

Moses was eighty years old. He felt secure in his "routine" and din't feel the urge to set off in a new challenge. Often, we all settle into this mode. If there is difficult tasks to perform, let the younger do it ... I have done my part and just want to rest it out. Again, Moses shows us a great lesson to apply each to our lives. We are never over until we are over. God wants our service until the day we die.
