One of my favorite people from the bible is Moses. He was such a true servant of God. One thing I love about Moses is that in the beginning he was a man who thought nothing of himself and was considered not so great. Although Moses thought of himself as weak and awkward, God had such a special plan for his life and used Moses to do some absolutely incredible things.I found that I could relate to Moses when God talked to him, through the burning bush. God approached Moses telling him to go to Pharaoh and set the Israelites free. Moses's reaction "No way!". This is what he actually says, "But Moses said to God, “Who am I that I should go to Pharaoh and bring the Israelites out of Egypt? Exodus 3:11. Moses kept questioning God making excuses saying he was awkward and slow of speech and just couldn't do it. Sometimes in life this is how I am. When I feel God leading me in a certain direction or asking me to do something, there's times when I'm like "I don't know about this God, I don't think I can handle it." Well guess what I 'm right, I can't handle it, Moses couldn't handle it,no one can handle it, you can't do anything on your own! When God asks you to do something he's not just going to leave you hanging, he's going to supply strength courage, wisdom, and all of the other things you need in order to follow his plan. As Moses continues to talk to God and tries to get himself out of doing what he is told God keeps assuring him that this is not something he will have to do alone, "And God said, "I will be with you." Exodus 3:12. Moses finally starts listening to God and that leads to great things. He leads the people out of Egypt, Parts the Red Sea, and receives the 10 commandments from God. Moses was faithful to God and because of it he achieved great things and brought glory to God and his people. Moses is a big faith inspiration for my life and I hope after reading this you to can get something out of Moses's incredible story. Here is one of my favorite verses about Moses that shows who he is and encourages me to have faith and follow God's plan.
24 By faith Moses, when he had grown up, refused to be known as the son of Pharaoh’s daughter. 25 He chose to be mistreated along with the people of God rather than to enjoy the fleeting pleasures of sin. 26 He regarded disgrace for the sake of Christ as of greater value than the treasures of Egypt, because he was looking ahead to his reward. 27 By faith he left Egypt, not fearing the king’s anger; he persevered because he saw him who is invisible.
Hebrews 11:24-27
