INTRODUCTION
We make decisions daily. Some decisions bear their weight in life as life transforming, life changing and life impacting. It decides the course of one’s life. For many a young person, your course of study, choice of career, choice of life partner, choice of faith determines future direction in life.
Moses’ decision to leave Egypt was one such decision. It impacted his life forever. It was God’s will for his life. By the time he left Egypt, he was 40 years of age. One who was learned in all the wisdom of the Egyptians, and was mighty in words and in deeds. (Acts 7:22).
He obtained mastery in life in things pertaining to success in Egyptian life. And such success can go over the head of one to cling on to it for a sense of fulfilment and accomplishment in life, a sense of achievement and pride. One can throw one’s sense of well-being behind maintaining that status and worldly accolade. Solomon calls such a life vainity or empty! For him to reach such a conclusion, he actually tried indulging himself in the high life but found it in the final analysis disappointing.
