Acts 7:17-29
And Moses was instructed in all the wisdom of the Egyptians, and he was mighty in his words and deeds. (v. 22) I had never thought of parallels between Moses and Daniel before, but David’s message from last week resonates with this verse. Both Moses and Daniel were “exiles”, both were instructed in the ways and wisdom of the land in which they were living, both were mighty in their words and deeds, and both saved some or all of their people. Strange connection, similar circumstances, but the same God even though a millennium or more separated them!
Slava Bohu!
Good point, Fred. Especially with the sermon today too.
I was struck by the notion that Moses heard his calling to save his people. But he got the method wrong and killed an Egyptian oppressor. He fled, went to the desert and spent a lot of alone time with God, 40 years, before he was ready to let God lead in the calling. I, we need to spend time with God to be ready to follow Him, getting our calling focused.
