Ready for The Tweak by Pastor Ed Young

I was talking a while back to a couple and they were living together.  They said they were Christians.  They said, “Yes, Ed, you know, we’re praying about moving out until we get married.”  You’re praying about moving out?  You see, that’s a dumb prayer because God says don’t have sex until marriage.  So don’t pray dumb prayers.  That’s the weak.  Man, I’m weak before God.  That’s the position that He wants you in and He wants me in.  And oftentimes in the desert we’re weak, aren’t we?  No water, these little hela monsters biting at you, rattlesnakes, cactus everywhere, sand everywhere, it’s just lonely.  God has allowed that in our lives to communicate to us.

The Tweak

So we’ve got The Seek, The Peek, The Weak, and there’s one more: The Tweak.  Moses was willing to make some serious tweaks in his life.  God said, “Ok Moses, here is what I’m about to do.  You can join in on what I’m about to do Moses, I’ve chosen you for it.  But you have to be willing,” check this out now, “to make some major adjustments in your life if you’re going to be the person that I want you to be, if you’re going to do what I want you to do, if you’re going to go where I want you to go.”  And Moses said, “Yes God, sign me up.  I’m weak and I’m ready for the tweak.”

What did Moses do?  Well, I’m glad you asked.  Look at verse 20, Exodus 4.  “So Moses took his wife and sons, put them on a donkey and started back to Egypt.  And he took the staff of God in his hands.”  He left his job, he left his in-laws, and he moved to Egypt.
