How Well Do You Know Jehovah? - MOSES SAW "THE ONE WHO IS INVISIBLE"

Moses acted on what he had learned.  When he was about 40 years old, Moses chose to associate with God's people. the Hebrews. rather than to be known as the son of Pharaoh's daughter." (Hebrews 11:24)  Moses gave up a prominent position.  By siding with the Hebrews, who were slaves in Egypt, he risked the wrath of Pharaoh,  a powerful ruler who was viewed as a god. What an outstanding act of faith! Moses trusted in Jehovah.  Such trust is a  foundation stone of a lasting relationship. - PROVERBS 3:5.

What is the lesson for us?  Like Moses, all of us have a decision to make:  We may have to make sacrifices to serve God, and we risk being opposed by those who do not know Jehovah. But if we trust in our heavenly Father, we can count on is support!

Moses continued to learn about Jehovah's qualities and to do His will.  For example, when Moses was asked to lead the nation of Israel out of captivity, he lacked confidence and repeatedly told Jehovah that he felt unqualified.  God responded with real compassion, providing help for Moses. (Exodus 4:10-16) As a result, Moses was able to deliver powerful judgment messages to Pharaoh. Moses then  saw Jehovah use His power his power  as He saved the Israelites but destroyed Pharaoh and his forces in the Red Sea. - EXODUS 14:26-31; PSALM 136:15. 

After Moses led the Israelites out of Egypt, they constantly fond things to complain about.  Even so, Moses observed Jehovah's great patience in dealing with the people. He had freed them from slavery.  (Psalm 78:40-43)  Moses also saw Jehovah show remarkable humility when he changed his mind after Moses asked him to do so. - EXODUS 33:9-14.
