Moses was a leader who excelled in running away from trouble. That is until God had a face-to-face encounter with Moses. Moses was called to lead a group of people who had been oppressed and given no hope. Through God's power and Moses' obedience people were set free and moved to a place of promise.
We can take from Moses two things to apply in our lives. First, leadership can come in small packages. Moses was a baby who's life was threatened but through God protection and providence he was rescued and placed into a royal family to learn who to lead. We may not realize that life situations have prepared us to reach out and bring hope to the hopeless.
Second, we have to learn from our life experiences. Moses was on the run from punishment and wound up 40 years in the dessert herding sheep. It turned out that this was valuable life experience. Moses ended up leading millions of Jewish people from slavery to the promise land. This was no easy task and the time with the sheep gave him the skills to lead people. We may hate the lives we live and it may seem like there is no purpose in your life but God is teaching you to live your life in a state of service to God. Take advantage of your life and remember the lessons so you can lead others to God's promise land.
All in all Moses was a very remarkable man who did great things for God. Just remember that he was human just like us who gave his life for God and look what he did.
