Exodus

Moses Fears He Will Fail

Season 2 Episode 4 35:41

← All Exodus episodes

In Exodus 4, join Susan and Heather as they discuss the cycle of doubt that Moses follows with God. God persists and eventually, Moses obeys but it isn’t without a few excuses attempted first! I can relate to Moses; I’m not always the most trusting or brave person.

HAYLEY’S BIBLE BENDER:

My Bible bender of this passage is just the reminder that Susan points out in the lesson that Moses has to learn throughout his back-and-forth with God:

  • It is never about I, it is about the I AM
  • I am not the focus, because I am not the I AM
  • I am not responsible for success because I do not have the power to succeed.
  • The I AM eclipses all the I am.

The Score Card

Moses+ God 2:13 The next day her went out and saw two Hebrews fighting. He asked the one in the wrong, “Why are you hitting your fellow Hebrew?” 14 The man said, ” Who made you ruler and judge over us? Are you thinking of killing me as you killed the Egyptian?” Then Moses was afraid and thought, “What I did must have become known.” 4:29 Moses and Aaron brought together all the elders of the Israelites, and Aaron told them everything the Lord had said to Moses. He also performed the signs before the people, and they believed. And when they heard that the Lord was concerned about them and had seen their misery, they bowed down and worshiped.
