Moses - Beloved of God

God specially loved Moses and it showed. He had access to God and a relationship with him that we in the new and better testament need to be conscious of. God is not a far away task master as some paint him. He is loving and relational.

To cap off the story and life of Moses, God did what has not been repeated again, HE BURIED HIM.

And the LORD said to Moses, "I will do the very thing you have asked, because I am pleased with you and I know you by name." Then Moses said, "Now show me your glory." And the LORD said, "I will cause all my goodness to pass in front of you, and I will proclaim my name..

Moses - The man

It is easy to focus on all the great things Moses did and forget that he was a man after all. He almost lost his life because he did not circumcise his son. He missed stepping in the promise land because he got angry for God.

What I find most worrying though is the absence of his children in the scheme of things, I am sure you will struggle to remember the names of his children

On the way to Egypt, at a place where Moses and his family had stopped for the night, the Lord confronted him and was about to kill him. But Moses' wife, Zipporah, took a flint knife and circumcised her son. She touched his feet with the foreskin... the Lord left him alone.

Moses - Meekness

He was declared to be the meekest man on earth and that is no mean fit. His experience of trying to do things by himself and failing and then seeing what God can do had completely humbled him. He no longer had any reason to fight for himself or prove himself.

Even when his authority was challenged twice, he left it to God to answer and even pleaded when the answer was severe. Beloved, there is so much grace in humility, quit the fightings and trust in God's righteousness.

When the cloud lifted from above the Tent, there stood Miriam--leprous, like snow. Aaron turned toward her and saw that she had leprosy; and he said to Moses, "Please, my lord, do not hold against us the sin we have so foolishly committed. Do not let her be like a stillborn..

Moses - Knowing God's ways

Moses did not only see the acts and wonders of God, he knew God's ways. He understood God and could make his case before God with a confidence that God will listen.

While it is good for us to desire the miraculous in our lives, it is better to desire to know God. Our daily cry should be more of God and his ways. When you know God, you will see his glory in your life.

I feared the anger and wrath of the LORD, for he was angry enough with you to destroy you. But again the LORD listened to me.
And the LORD was angry enough with Aaron to destroy him, but at that time I prayed for Aaron too.

Moses - Never too late to start over

Moses' life can broadly be divided into three, 40 years in the palace, 40 years in the wilderness and 40 years as we know it, fulfilling purpose. To realize that he started over at 80 years of age is surely an encouragement to us.

No matter how much time you have lost, it is never too late to start over following the will of God for your life. You might not even feel capable, God will empower you. You just submit to him.

Moses said to the LORD, "Pardon your servant, Lord. I have never been eloquent, neither in the past nor since you have spoken to your servant. I am slow of speech and tongue." The LORD said to him, "Who gave human beings their mouths? Who makes them deaf or mute?..

Moses - Prince turned refugee

A prison to palace story is inspiring and desirous, who ever desires to leave the comfort of royalty for exile? Yet, that was the trajectory of this man of God.

He perceived in his heart the call of a deliverer and went about it in his own strength, the result? He was ran out of town. Timing and divine commissioning / empowering is important for fulfilling your vision sir/ma.

When the child grew older, she took him to Pharaoh's daughter and he became her son. She named him Moses, saying, "I drew him out of the water."
