The 3 lessons that Moses learned in the desert
1 The lesson of servanthood
Exodus 2: 16 “Now the priest of Midian had seven daughters, and they came and drew water and filled the troughs to water their father's flock. The shepherds came and drove them away, but Moses stood up and saved them, and watered their flock. When they came home to their father Reuel, he said, ‘How is it that you have come home so soon today?’ They said, ‘An Egyptian delivered us out of the hands of the shepherds and even drew water for us and watered the flock.’ He said to his daughters, ‘Then where is he? Why have you left the man? Call him, that he may eat bread.’ And Moses was content to dwell with the man, and he even gave Moses his daughter Zipporah.” He gave Moses his daughter as a wife.
A In Obscurity
B In Humility
2 The lesson of trust.
Exodus 2:23 During that long period, the king of Egypt died. The Israelites groaned in their slavery and cried out, and their cry for help because of their slavery went up to God. 24 God heard their groaning and he remembered his covenant with Abraham, with Isaac and with Jacob. 25 So God looked on the Israelites and was concerned about them.
3 The lesson of obedience
Exodus 3
Never interpret the silence of God as the indifference of Go
Two Lessons in the Desert
God is with you in the desert
You develop deep roots in the desert
How do you make an elephant?
“You simply take a block of marble, and you chip away everything that isn’t elephant.”
