“‘Now go, for I am sending you to Pharaoh. You must lead my people Israel out of Egypt.’<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But Moses protested to God, ‘Who am I to appear before Pharaoh? Who am I to lead the people of Israel out of Egypt?’<\/p>\n\n\n\n

God answered, ‘I will be with you. And this is your sign that I am the one who has sent you: When you have brought the people out of Egypt, you will worship God at this very mountain.'” Exodus 3:10-12, NLT<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moses: Notes from the Wayfinding Bible<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moses escapes Pharaoh\u2019s death decree and is adopted into the royal household. There he grows up, all the while knowing that he is a Hebrew. At thirty years old, embroiled in a murder scandal, Moses flees Egypt and settles in far-off Midian. He spends fifty years there herding sheep before God takes action, lights a fire, and calls Moses to be the leader of the Hebrews. It will require Moses to return to Egypt and face a new pharaoh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Without his realizing it, Moses\u2019 whole life had him trained for leading God\u2019s people. He was educated as a royal prince in the palace of Egypt. He showed compassion for his own people and tried to help, but he failed. He intimately knew the desert land of Midian, where he would later lead the Israelites. At eighty years old he was well equipped to be a leader, but he protested again and again that he was not the right person. Sometimes God calls people who don\u2019t think they are ready for the task. He sees potential that we can\u2019t see, then strengthens us with his power.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
