'., Sunday School Lesson A LEADER CALLED (Exodus S:l-12) When Pharoah sought to slay If oses, he fled to the land of Hidian, on the east shore of the Gulf of Akaba. The Mi dianites, descended of Abraham and Kenturah, controlled the rich pasture lands around Sinai in Moses day. ' Many a long year of lonely waiting and trial in rural sur roundings continued to mold and shape this palace-trained prince into the leader of a new nation. Moses had received training fitting his princely position in a highly civilized nation. No doubt, he was educated in athletics, art, literature, law, geometry, geography, caligraphy, astronomy, medicine and philosophy. Every experience prepared him for God's planned place of service. MOses was the foremost man of the Old Testament world. Jochebed imbued him with the traditions of his people. All the heathen allurements never erased those childhood im pressions. The finest education did not cause him to lose his simple childhood faith. Had he renounced his faith, he might have been king on the proudest throne on earth. Josephus says Moses commanded an army in the South while serving in the government in Egypt probably at taining great power and reputation. Thus he was preparing for his life's work of organizing and unifying a nation. He was acquainting himself with the land where the people wandered for 40 years. God chooses, calls, and commissions leaders to render specific service and assures them of divine guidance. Under the silent stars and majestic canopy of the blue, Moses learned from God. While keeping the flock of Jethro, Moses observed the burningnush. His curiosity led to to investigate the amazing phenomenon. . God used this to attract Moses' attention. Moses was ready to listen. God called. Moses approached with holy reverence. God never makes a mistake in calling one to a task. The compassion of the Lord was evident. Though during the years of oppression, the Hebrews had not known of it. Moses' abortive effort came too early, neither he nor the Israelites were ready. "One blow struck when God's time is fulfilled is worth a thousand struck in premature eagerness" wrote F.B. Meyer. A wise and loving purpose lies behind all the suffering God permits. God known, He cares, He loves and He over rules. God commissioned Moses for the task of deliverance of His people. The call was urgent. The voice of God takes precedence over self-depreciation, which is not to be heeded. God never calls a person to a task without providing the needed equipment and conditions. God convinced Moses, provided miracles, a mouth piece and evidence convicted the Egyptians of the necessity to release them . Eventually, Moses became Israel's deliverer, law giver, organizer, builder, commander-in-chief, judge, author, and intermediary between God and Israel.
