Exodus 2:14 He answered, "Who made you a prince and a judge over us? Do you mean to kill me as you killed the Egyptian?" Then Moses was afraid, and thought, "Surely the thing is known."
It is interesting that the Hebrew slaves were questioning the character and intentions of Moses. But, Moses was God’s chosen vessel to deliver them from slavery.
We all too often replace God’s sovereign will with our own sense of right and wrong. In a world were there is sin and violence, we can’t pretend to be exempt from it. The question is weather or not we are doing God’s will. Moses would deliver the people, even though he had a bit of a temper. Later we find Paul, and Peter and James and John the sons of thunder, who are also followers of Christ and have tempers as well. The question is not always what you do, but sometimes it is why you do it. For Moses, his crime led to the deliverance of the Hebrews from slavery.
Father, help me by your Holy Spirit to always seek to do you will and not to be afraid or intimidated by peoples ideas of right and wrong, but by your will.
Amen
