6.10.10
1 Kings 7:1-51
Acts 7:30-50
735 “This Moses whom they rejected, saying, ‘Who made you a ruler and a judge?’[d] is the one God sent to be a ruler and a deliverer by the hand of the Angel who appeared to him in the bush.
John - "This Moses whom THEY rejected.." the people of Israel rejected Moses asking him why he thought he had the authority to rule them, the authority Moses had was God had sent him, and this is the only authority that really matters, if God sends you to do something, that is what matters.
Psalm 128:1-6
Proverbs 16:31-33
16:31 The silver-haired head is a crown of glory,
If it is found in the way of righteousness.
32 He who is slow to anger is better than the mighty,
And he who rules his spirit than he who takes a city.
33 The lot is cast into the lap,
But its every decision is from the LORD.
John - In verse 32 we see someone who controls his anger is BETTER than the mighty, he is unmovable. Whoever rules his spirit is BETTER than the man who can overtake a city! Verse 33 gives us a picture of God intimate involvement in our everyday choices and everyday life!

Acts 7:35 The question "who made you a judge and ruler over us" was really asking, who gave you permission to do what you are doing.Since noboby voted Moses in and they weren't informed before hand, the leaders of Israel felt they had the right to reject Moses as their leader.Often times you will encounter the resistance of those who don't agree with what you are doing because they didn't give you permission to do it.Follow God anyway!!!
