He was reluctant to take on the role Exodus , but once he did he never lost sight of the goal of leading the people. He trusted God to fight for him Numbers He had remarkable faith that God always had his back.
He faced continual opposition throughout his life. Pharaoh opposed him Exodus , the people continually grumbled against him Exodus , Numbers , Aaron and Miriam opposed him Numbers 12, Korah Numbers He grew weary but never gave up.
He was a man of remarkable character Numbers God put Moses on a pedestal. Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor. Thou shalt not covet anything that belongs to thy neighbor.

Moses' mother was afraid that her baby would be harmed, so she put him into a basket that floated down the river, hoping that he would be found by an Egyptian woman who might raise him as her own. The Pharoah's daughter discovered the baby in the bullrushes and Moses was raised a prince.
One day, Moses was summoned by God. He left the comfort of the palace to bring the Jewish slaves out of bondage in Egypt. He delivered the 10 Commandments to his people.
He never made it to the promised land because he lost his temper and broke the tablets of stone in a rage when the people had, for a moment, lost their faith. On Mount Sinai he rebuilt the tablets and led his people to freedom. He spent his final days in the hills watching over the Jewish tribes of Israel as they made their journey to a new homeland. This makes me think about how God deals with us at times.
He calls us even though we have objections. Our sinful nature objects when God calls us to faith. Our sinful nature wants to remain in our sin. In spite of that sinful nature, the power of the Holy Spirit still overcomes and works faith in us.
God also calls us to a life of Christian service. This is going to look different for each of us depending on our careers and our various roles husband, mother, son, daughter, coach, pastor, etc. We might grumble and complain about what we need to do. Our sinful nature wants selfish ambition to be part of our motivation. In spite of our objections, God still works in us. He still uses us. He used Moses and he can use us. He reminds us of our glorious Savior who took away our sin through the cross.
