Unique Perspective

What is the point of being unique or having differences? What if you have gone through something that no one else you know has gone through before? Are we different just due to happenstance or is there a divine purpose?

In the story of Moses, we see that Moses used his unique differences in order to liberate the Hebrew people. We see the story of Moses begins with his parents Amram and his mother Jochebed. When Moses enters into the scene we learn that the Pharaoh wanted all male babies to be killed. Thus the compassion that Jochebed had on her son by sending him down the river in a basket. This leads to the daughter of the pharaoh, Mariam finding him and having him raised by an Iserilate woman. Moses a child of one nationality brought into a completely different culture loved by an adoptive mother of Egyptian women and the moral foundations and upbringing of Iserilate women, handmade to the princess.

Because of this unique situation Moses had become multicultural and relational to various groups. This gave him the education and ability to advocate and discuss issues that he felt needed to be addressed. This also gave him an outside perspective on the oppression of his own group of people. 

Moses using the education he received from the highest teachers in Egypt and the passion of the oppressed from the Hebrew nation he took his unique skill set and sought to liberate his people because of the desires of God. 

His unique connection to the different groups along with divine intervention allowed him to do one of the greatest things in human history, the departure of the Hebrew nation from Egypt. This leads to the iconic tale of the parting of the red sale, the wandering of the wilderness, all because God allowed Moses to use his unique skillset and education for the will of God.

What is the point of being unique or having differences? We are all called to use our uniqueness for Christ  What if you have gone through something that no one else you know has gone through before? That qualifies you for a job that no one else can do like you. Are we different just due to happenstance or is there a divine purpose? There is a divine purpose for all, are you going to use it to glorify God.
