Aaron is on his way
January. A time for new beginnings, new ideas, new dreams and new ways to get them.
We look back at 2018, some in relief, some with sadness and I know I for one look back and see what I hoped for, with some things more successful than others.
But I come into 2019 with a real sense and conviction that something will be different to any year that’s passed. Why? Because Aaron is on is way.
Well who’s Aaron you ask?
Aaron the elder brother of Moses is found in the book of Exodus. He appears off the back of many excuses Moses gives God as to why he’s not the right man to lead a nation out of captivity.
As Moses gets to his final excuse in Exodus 4, it reads;
Exodus 4:13-14 - “But Moses said, “Pardon your servant, Lord. Please send someone else.” Then the Lord’s anger burned against Moses and he said, “What about your brother, Aaron the Levite? I know he can speak well. He is already on his way to meet you, and he will be glad to see you.”
This is extraordinary. Moses is ‘the other side’ of the wilderness and so why on earth would Aaron be on his way?
What strikes me about this text is that although God was telling Moses not just who he was but also what he could do, he knew Moses would discount himself from the story. So he sends backup.
And that’s what we all need hey.
Firstly and foremostly we need to be in conversation with heaven about what this year entails.
But secondly we need someone who can support us in our endeavours.
If you’re reading this then this is a word for you.
Aaron is on his way.
Someone who can help you find your sweet spot.
Someone who can speak to people on your behalf.
Someone with wisdom in areas you don’t have.
And that’ll mean this year you’ll be able to see and do things you only ever dreamed of.
Now this may mean you’ll need to change a few things up, find a community to get stuck into or be a bit more intentional in your friendships.
But the other side of the equation is the calling you were built for.
And I for one cannot wait to see it unfold. 2019 let’s go!
