“When Pharaoh heard what Moses had done, he tried to have him killed. But Moses fled from Pharaoh and settled in the land of Midian” (Exodus 2:15, GWT)

     During the beginning of the Blitzkrieg in 1939, the British government had concerns about the mental stability of its citizens. Most people were not prepared for the horrors that would come. Some believed London would suffer from three times as many psychological casualties as they would from physical injuries.

     Over 60,000 civilian lives were lost during the Blitz. However, the prediction of mass mental health breakdowns thankfully never occurred. Though Londoners were under continual attack, morale remained high. People came together as never before. The stress of the air raids actually strengthened Britain’s resolve and resilience.

     There’s an old adage: never put a period where God has placed a comma. After forty years of service in Pharaoh’s palace, many people would have written off Moses as an abject failure. Branded a common criminal, Moses ran for his life into the unforgiving sands of the desert.

     Yet it was under the withering rays of the sun that God forged in Moses a fearless and irrepressible spirit. For the next four decades of his life, God took the broken pieces of Moses’ life and created a leader who would guide the Hebrew people through the wilderness and into the Promised Land. Moses went from a chump to a champ, a zero to a hero all because God specializes in using
broken people.

     God uses broken soil to produce a bountiful crop. God uses broken clouds to provide rain enough to fill the oceans. God uses broken alabaster boxes that release aromatic perfumes. Best of all, God uses the likes of you and me to bring healing and hope to a broken world.

     Regardless of what you have been through, the same power that conquered the grave is at work in you. While some intend to bring about evil, God is laboring to bring about good. No matter how many bombs may rain down upon you, no weapon formed shall prevail against you.
