Exodus 2:15 – When Pharaoh heard of this, he tried to kill Moses, but Moses fled from Pharaoh and went to live in Midian, where he sat down by a well.
Why did God take Moses into the desert of Midian? It was a consequence of his rashness—to save Moses from the wrath of Pharaoh. Also it was to “drain him of all self-sufficiency so he would learn dependency on the sufficiency of God. God was preparing Moses in obscurity with the meekness and fortitude to bear future publicity. God wanted to give Moses an opportunity to think and find himself as he sat there by that well. Also God hid him there to await the death of his enemies so that Moses could return to Egypt in safety to begin his work.” Moses may have thought his life was ruined, but God was at work behind the scenes and in his heart shaping him into the kind of leader necessary to accomplish a God-sized job. Nothing is wasted in your life if you have committed yourself to Christ’s Lordship. Walk in obedience with Him every day, and He will unfold your future and take you to your divine destiny.
