A decree was made by Pharaoh that all Hebrew boys were to be slaughtered. And so in an effort to save his life, Moses was placed in some tall grass by river Nile by his mother, who was later found by Pharaoh’s family and was raised as one. Years later, having learned of his family and how they were treated, he chose to leave. While he was living in Midian, God spoke to Moses from a burning bush and told him that he needed him to lead the Israelites out of bondage and bring them to the Promised Land. Hearing this task, Moses never saw himself as being this great leader or worthy enough to be used by God or to carry out this talk. However through faith, he brought them out of Egypt, and even when they were trapped by the red sea, with great faith Moses told the frightened Israelites “Do not be afraid. Stand still, and see the salvation of the LORD, which He will accomplish for you today. For the Egyptians whom you see today, you shall see again no more forever. The Lord will fight for you, and you shall hold your peace.” (14:13)
