exodus 1-11

Everyone knows Moses as practically a hero, the person who freed the Jews from cruelty in Egypt. This man made miracles, caused plagues, and was even able to control the phoroah himself. Moses is one of the best known biblical characters toeday because of his exciting story and incredible accomplishments. The question though, is why? Why did God choose him out of all the other respectable men at the time? No one would have expected a man like Moses to do what he did, and for many reasons. First of all, he was a stutterer, a sign of insecurity and fear. Second, he wasn't the bravest man for having escaped and hidden from the Pharaoh. Last, it took Moses a long time to get his mind straight and accept God's offer. Whoever knew this man well, would think he was a coward and a traitor. God of course, viewed him in a very distinct way. One of the acts that most defined him was when he saved a Jew who was getting beat up by Egypcians. After running away for his life, he immediately made himself useful by working for a man who became his future father in law. This proved Moses to be humble, loyal, and with potential to do good. Just the type of man God needed for the task.
