Exodus 18:3-4 (NIV) …One son was named Gershom, for Moses said, “I have become an alien in a foreign land”, and the other was named Eliezer, for he said, “My father’s God was my helper; he saved me from the sword of Pharaoh.”
The names given to Moses’ sons (Gershom: a stranger; Eliezer: God is help) gives us insight to Moses’ thoughts and the feelings of his heart here in the backside of the desert. God had brought healing to him from the many heartaches of his life journey. Just think of the wide range of experiences He had lived through—palaces to deserts, murderer to prophet. Give thanks today for the faithful hand of God who has led YOU on your life journey. He is your Helper. When you feel alienated and alone, He is your ever-faithful friend. Remember and worship Him today.
