Moses was not born to be a slave in the land of Egypt. He was not born to serve in the king of Egypt’s court. He was not born the son of Pharaoh’s daughter. He was not born to be the shepherd of his father-in-law’s flock. He was born to be a spokesman for God. Moses was given the honor and privilege of delivering a message from the King of the kingdom of heaven to, first the sons of Israel announcing their deliverance from bondage in Egypt and second to the king of Egypt announcing the deliverance of the sons of Israel in a diplomatic form; a request to let the sons of Israel go into the wilderness and offer a sacrifice to their God, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
Moses, while it is not stated in the Bible, was given a command similar to the one given to Abraham. Abraham was told to leave his country, his relatives, and his father’s house. Moses is told to leave his father-in-law’s flock, his family, and the land of Midian. (more…)

Moses was pasturing the flock of his father-in-law Jethro in the south west part of the Sinai Peninsula on the west side of Horeb, another name for Mt Sinai, when the Lord spoke to him from a burning bush. Here is good news for all the children of God in troubled times. The Lord told Moses He has seen the affliction of His people who are in Egypt and heard their cries because of the taskmasters and has come down to deliver them from the hand of the Egyptians and bring them into a land flowing with milk and honey (Exodus 3:7-8).
What is amazing is the Lord is not going to send a company of angels to defeat the army of Egypt and free the sons of Israel from slavery and oppression in Egypt. Instead, He is going to Moses who fled Egypt because Pharaoh was seeking to kill him because he had killed an Egyptian who was beating one of the sons of Israel; as a result Moses spends nearly forty years of his life pasturing a flock that is not his. Moses will wander in the wilderness with his father-in-law’s flock until the Pharaoh who was seeking to kill him is replaced by a Pharaoh who does not know Moses and his past. (more…)
