MOSES

This morning Moses was the topic of the focus of my personal time with God. Why Moses? Because a thought went through my head that Moses was 40 years old (Acts 7:23) when he murdered the Egyptian guard and fled Egypt. Before that he had been raised by an Egyptian princess who had found him in the reeds in the river she where she was bathing with her attendants (Exodus 2). For 40 years Moses had been raised in the house of the Pharoah and taught their ways. Moses was the birth son of a Levite. 

Here’s my point. God chose a person who was an Israelite but raised in house of the Pharoah and “educated in all the wisdom of the Egyptians and was powerful in speech and action”(Acts 7:22) to lead His people to the “promised land”. God chose Moses who had little contact with the Israelites that is evident in Scripture to become the greatest patriarch of Scripture. The Torah contains five chapters the Jews consider to be the “Law of Moses”. In our Bible, the first five books, are called the Book of Moses. Moses, at 80 years old, was chosen by God to lead His people out of slavery into freedom. 

God chose a person with a speech impediment (Exodus 4:10), a foreigner (Exodus 2:22), “educated in the all the wisdom of the Egyptians” to perform one of the greatest acts of faith. This further fortifies the truth that “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me” (Philippians 4:13). Is God asking you to do a seemingly impossible task or are you facing a seemingly insurmountable situation, then I hope this aids you in becoming a victor not a victim.
