One day, after Moses had grown up, he went out to where his own people were and watched them at their hard labor. He saw an Egyptian beating a Hebrew, one of his own people. Glancing this way and that and seeing no one, he killed the Egyptian and hid him in the sand. The next day he went out and saw two Hebrews fighting. He asked the one in the wrong, “Why are you hitting your fellow Hebrew?” The man said, “Who made you ruler and judge over us? Are you thinking of killing me as you killed the Egyptian?” Then Moses was afraid and thought, “What I did must have become known.” When Pharaoh heard of this, he tried to kill Moses, but Moses fled from Pharaoh and went to live in Midian, where he sat down by a well.
Now a priest of Midian had seven daughters, and they came to draw water and fill the troughs to water their father’s flock. Some shepherds came along and drove them away, but Moses got up and came to their rescue and watered their flock. When the girls returned to Reuel their father, he asked them, “Why have you returned so early today?” They answered, “An Egyptian rescued us from the shepherds. He even drew water for us and watered the flock.” “And where is he?” he asked his daughters. “Why did you leave him? Invite him to have something to eat.” Moses agreed to stay with the man, who gave his daughter Zipporah to Moses in marriage. Zipporah gave birth to a son, and Moses named him Gershom, saying, “I have become an alien in a foreign land.”

One fish in an ocean of thousands. Chances are that your name or reputation or acts will not make a big difference on our world. That’s hard to accept, because most of us want to make a difference in the world.
Moses was no different. He wanted to make a difference – for his world – his people – the Israelites. Day after day, for forty years, he had witnessed his people be beaten and abused under the tyranny of his very own stepfather. He wanted to make a difference. But how could he?

You may not want to change the world – but your self, your church, your family, or your co-workers. Maybe you feel that they need to learn more about the Bible, to be more loving, or to have some hope. You may have and intense desire to bring about some change. But how? That’s the question we’ll look at today, as we ask – How Can I Make a Difference?
