Moses Was Special/Yahweh is My Middle C

I always knew that Moses was a special guy. I guess I am not the only one, but there has always been something about Moses that jumped out at me. More than David, more than Abraham, more than Isaac, more than Jacob, and more than the disciples. Moses and I have a special connection probably because I have felt like Moses throughout college, or the fact that facebook's "what Biblical Character Are You" application said I was a Moses, or maybe that "The King of Egypt" is one of my favorite movies. I don't know, but I woke up and started reading Max Lucado's "Traveling Light" and he writes that Jesus never told Abraham and others his real name, which is "Yahweh". However, God told Moses that his name was "Yahweh". Every other Biblical personality that I know of called God by his title such as "El Shaddai" or "El Olyon" or "El Olam", while Moses knew God by His name: Yahweh. Isn't that something. Moses was special. He was the underdog, insecure, anxious, and hopeless, YET God chose him to do a mighty work. God can use ANYONE!!!! Moses is my hero. As I go into the real world wondering if I am up to what I have been chosen to do, I will remember Moses.

Now...onto the idea that is on the right of my title's slash: Yahweh is My Middle C. Max Lucado is speaking the truth. This phrase means that God is an unchanging God. And Max phrased it in a musician's terminology--just my cup of tea. God is My Middle C.
"That's middle C! It was middle C yesterday; it will be middle C tomorrow; it will be middle C a thousand years from now. The tenor upstairs sings flat. The piano across the hall is out of tune, but my friend, that is middle C." (Lucado, pg. 15). God is just like that and it is a simple phenomenon that we tend to forget when life's storms hit us and disorient us. God is always the same--there are countless scriptures that say that. I take this to heart because life continues to change for me whether it is the death of a loved one, graduation, my move to Chicago, my new music career, etc--through all of that, God is that unchanging middle C. Amen.
