Moses was by far thw meekest of the men. - Num. 12:3The texts for today and yesterday taught me this about Jehovah: Jehovah picks the person for an assignment, because he knows that person will succeed. Man's imperfect gets in the way most of the time, so Jehovah is patient and considerate, teaching the lesson in the best way possible.
Moses was humble enough to try to not take the assignment, saying he couldn't speak well and other excuses, but Jehovah was patient with him, and gave him holy spirit to perform miracles.
Moses ended up being a great leader for Israel, boldly taking them out and guiding them through the wilderness. Jehovah blessed his efforts to lead over 3 million people. Moses continued to be humble, accepting counsel from his father-in-law and listening to all Jehovah told him.
Moses did his best to imitate the Almighty, and showed consideration and patience to others as Jehovah did to him.
We need to be the same way today. The world is full of independent thinkers, those who focus on their own needs before others. taking advamtage of those who appear weak. If we want Jehovah's favor and blessing, we need to be the opposite of proud, arrogant, contempuous people, and imitate Moses.
As we go through the book of Exodus, pay attention to how Jehovah treated Moses, and how Moses treated the Israelites, and look for ways to apply their example in your life.
