The life of Moses can be divided into three periods of time of 40 years each:
- Palace: pomp and privilege.
- Wilderness: preparation.
- Leadership: leading the Children of Israel.
Moses protested and gave God four reasons why he would not be able to complete that task:
- He was unworthy — he was a murderer.
- He was ignorant — he had no godly training.
- He lacked the eloquence of being able to speak well.
- He believed no one would believe him.
Moses threw the staff down as God told him to do and it became a snake. Gold told him to pick it up by the tail and it became a staff.
God did a lot with Moses’ staff:
- Exodus 7:17 — Nile turned to blood.
- Exodus 8:5 — Frogs came out of the water.
- Exodus 9:23 — He brought down thunder, hail and lightning.
- Exodus 10:13 — A plague of locusts appeared.
- Exodus 17:6 — He struck a rock and water came out.
- Exodus 17:9 — Moses held it high in the air and the warriors were victorious.
