Moses’ life fell into three forty-year periods, marked by these key themes:
- Apart from God: Moses was raised in Egypt as the son of Pharaoh’s daughter
- Questioning God’s Call: Moses escaped to Midian after murdering an Egyptian (to defend an Israelite)
- Led God’s People: Moses led the Exodus from Israel then in the wilderness
Can you relate to any of these phases? What can you do to demonstrate confidence in God where are you are today?
Moses’ journey—especially in questioning God’s call—can be compared to that of Thomas Edison, the great inventor. Edison once suffered a great loss when his labs in New Jersey were destroyed by a fire in 1914. Walking through the rubble of what had once been his workplace, the 67-year-old said, “There is great value in disaster. All of our mistakes are burned up. Thank God, we can start anew.” Like Edison, Moses was given opportunity to start anew and he successfully completed the assignment God gave him.
The faith of Moses brings us to the place of enduring confidence in God through a difficult season or an entire lifetime.
