He is perhaps the Old Testament's most notorious kinsmen redeemer. His personal journey with God proceeded so many collective journeys for God's people. It just shows how God often works in and prepares the heart of a leader before the masses can follow God's lead. I think a close relative to the drawing out process is the dying to self process. I find the charge to take up my cross daily very similar to being drawn out of the self-centered life into the Christ-centered life. So where I sense God drawing me out is very much where I sense Him asking me to take up my cross and die a little in order to live even more. This is why I love Hebrews 11 & 12. It gives us a glimpse of those who submitted to the drawing out process and lived great lives of faith. It's hard though. I am amazed at times with my ability and willingness to resist being drawn.
