READ: Exodus 2:13-22

“And Moses was willing to dwell with the man, and he gave his daughter Zipporah to Moses.” – Exodus 2:21 (NASB)

Moses was criticised severely for his marriage to an Ethiopian woman. You may criticise all you want but bear in mind that God did not criticise him for whom he married. If Moses had not practically and humbly taken a wife he would have gone wifeless for the forty years he was to be in the wilderness.

If people were practical, everyone would have a husband or wife. Because people are not humble, practical and realistic, they pass by their marriage partners but are unable to recognise them. They want something ideal.

Moses would also have liked an ideal wife but he had to put up with Zipporah because that was what he could have under those circumstances. Joseph equally had to marry an Egyptian lady through whom he bore Manasseh and Ephraim. Because people are not practical and realistic they miss out on God’s gifts to them. Idealism is a killer of practical solutions to real problems.

Years ago, God gave us a broken down and dilapidated cinema hall. That was what we could afford and that was where we were. Failure to accept God’s humble provision can lead to poverty and the want of all things.

Be humble and be practical! You will experience the goodness of God in your life.
