Acts 7:30 (ESV Strong's)
“Now when forty years had passed, an angel appeared to him in the wilderness of Mount Sinai, in a flame of fire in a bush.
Subject: God's Lessons for us
God's lesson for us are based upon the circumstances we experience over time. Moses was in the wilderness for 40 years after he killed a man in Egypt. Moses killed someone because he had in his heart to deliver his people from the slavery of Egypt. But, if God needed him to deliver the people, he would have to wait for God to do so. However, did he have to wait 40 years because he killed someone or did he need to be in the wilderness for 40 years because he would deliver the nation and then wander another 40 years in that same wilderness? God used the lessons learned in the previous 40 years for the next 40. That is how God works in our lives. No experience is lost with God. Romans 8:28 teaches us that God uses all things in our lives to bring Him glory and to conform us to the image of His Son. Each experience is a tool to shape us in patience, but God's grace.
