Know Your Bible: The Life of Moses & Faithful Obedience

Episode Summary In this episode of the Know Your Bible Program, speaker David J. Lewis explores the early life, trial, and divine calling of Moses from the Book of Exodus. From his protection in the bulrushes along the Nile to his 40 years in Midian and his miraculous encounter with God at the burning bush, discover how God prepares His leaders and answers our doubts. Speaker Lewis also shares reflections on standing up for righteousness and enduring the hardships that come with serving God.

Key Takeaways


Providential Care & Preservation: Despite Pharaoh’s cruel decree to destroy infant Hebrew males, Moses was safely hidden among the bulrushes along the river’s brink and raised under the protection of Pharaoh's daughter.


Standing Up for Justice: Moses chose to identify with his Hebrew brethren rather than live in luxury, eventually fleeing to the land of Midian after defending a fellow Hebrew.


God’s Divine Calling: At Mount Horeb, God appeared to Moses through a burning bush that was not consumed, revealing His eternal name as "I AM THAT I AM" and appointing Moses to lead Israel out of bondage.


Overcoming Excuses: Despite Moses' feelings of inadequacy and fear, God provided miraculous signs and assurances to equip him for his mission.


Faithfulness Through Trials: Obeying God does not guarantee an easy path—when Moses first confronted Pharaoh, the workload on the Israelites was increased, demonstrating that true faith requires perseverance through hardship.
