Then Pharaoh gave his order to all his people: “Every boy that is born you must throw into the Nile, but let every girl live.” (Exodus 1:22) Zandervan NIV. Moses was born in a time when boys were to be killed because of the Hebrews numerous population. Moses’ parents knew that he was a child blessed by God so they hid him for 3 months until they could hide him no longer. His mother made a papyrus basket to float him down the Nile River. Pharaoh’s daughter came to the river to bath. She saw the basket and heard the cries of a baby weeping. It was not by chance that Pharaoh’s daughter went to bath at this very moment in time. God was protecting Moses even now and was even using Pharaoh’s own daughter to save the life of Moses. The name Moses

The first true encounter with God was about to take place in Moses life. Moses was tending to the flocks and led the flock to the far side of the desert and came to Horeb, the mountain of God. There an angel of the Lord appeared to Moses in flames of fire from within a bush. Moses saw that even though the bush was on fire, it did not burn up. So Moses went over to the bush to see why it was not burning up. When the Lord saw that Moses was going over to take a look, He called out to him. God called to him from within the bush, “Moses! Moses!” And Moses said, “Here I am.” (Exodus 3:4-5). God let Moses in on His plan to free the Hebrew people out of bondage into a place flowing with milk and honey. Moses would ask the same question that so many leaders throughout the bible asked God. WHY ME? Moses went on to question God about his choice of a leader to free the Hebrew people. Moses had big doubts about his ability to lead. He resisted God, bringing up his unworthiness and lack of authority. He brought up his fear of people’s distrust, his speech difficulties, and him just being afraid. Moses tried to talk his way out, but God continued to let him know that he would be with him through it all. His words would flow out of Moses’ lips.

Moses and the Hebrew people were free. The story of Moses is full of divine protection, miracles, and a man being used by God. Even though he was born a slave, God took him to be raised by a queen. Not just any queen, but the daughter of Pharaoh himself. He was born into slavery, yet he still managed to grow up among kings. Moses had influence over the house of Pharaoh because God put him in the right circumstances at the right time to make all the right acquaintances. Even at the time when God needed to grow him, Moses found himself fleeing Egypt to save his own life only to discover another life waiting for him. God used this situation to grow Moses faith and courage. Then, when it was time for Moses to confront the Pharaoh, he was still safe because of the situations God had put him through.

Moses grew up in the house of Pharaoh. One day, after Moses had grown up, he went out to where his own people were and watched them at their hard labor. He was an Egyptian beating a Hebrew, on of his own people. (Exodus 2:11) Zandervan NIV. Moses witnessed his own people in slavery day in and day out and this must have played in his mind. As Moses witnessed this, something inside him was fed up so he looked around to make sure no one could see him and when he saw that no one was around, he killed an Egyptian. Moses saw that we he did was wrong so he hid the man in the sand. This action does show us that Moses acted out of the flesh and not out of the spirit. When his anger flared up, he did not see what the right thing was to do, he acted off of his anger.
