Psalm 51:10
What happens when our passions overpower our judgment? Moses’ decision to strike the Egyptian revealed his zeal for justice but also his human flaws. Acting in haste, he faced the consequences, fleeing to the wilderness. Yet even in his failure, God’s purpose for Moses was not abandoned. We all have moments where passion clouds our decisions. The story reminds us to seek God's guidance before acting. God meets us with grace in our struggles, teaching us to transform our mistakes into stepping stones for His glory. Today, reflect on how God can take even your missteps and use them for His plans.
