From the beginning of time, God never promised His children an easy life. Moses is a great example of someone who's life was hard but yet so good. Moses was born as a jew and immediately hidden for 3 months because Pharaoh was on the search to kill all baby males. Moses' mom put Moses in a basket and left him in the river. Because God is so faithful, Pharaoh's wife found him, and Moses was raised into royalty. Moses had a good life - living with the Paroah of Egypt. However, he almost killed an Egyptian who was beating a slaved Isrealite, so he had to leave Egypt because the Pharaoh was out to kill him. Jesus called Moses out in the wildness to prepare him for when Moses would be going back into Egypt. He prepared Moses for what was to come by placing him in the wilderness for 40 years. Moses was feeling desperate, wrestling with negative thoughts and feeling completely hopeless. This is what Moses was saying to Jesus as he felt these things:"But behold, they will not believe me or listen to my voice" (Exodus 4:1) "I am not eloquent, either in the post or since you have spoken to your servant, but I am slow of speech and of tongue" (Exodus 4:10) Jesus spoke to Moses through a burning bush and anointed him that he would move the slaved people out of Egypt onto Mt. Sinai. This was the beginning and the reason for the "let my people go" rhyme in Sunday school that you might have learned. The 10 plagues took place and Moses was persistent in his obedience to God to ask the Pharaoh to let his people go. This was NOT an easy life. Moses had to go back to the city, where the Pharoah was out to kill him, and ask for the people to be set free. Finally 10 days later, Pharaoh gave in and let the people go. This is a beautiful symbol that God is King and God has FULL power. Jesus knew what He was doing the entire time.
