Moses’ giftedness was not enough for him to take matters into his own hands. He had to trust in the sovereignty of God, just as we do today. As Moses takes the saving of the Israelite people into his own hands, he quickly discovers that his power, knowledge, and status were not enough. Because of his failed attempt, he runs from Egypt and finds himself as a traveler in a strange land. But in the wilderness, he ends up broken and ready to be used by God.
(Exodus 2:11-25)
