God and Moses Kind of Prayer (Ex 3:1 – 4:18)
READ:
Exodus Ch 3-4
Moses, born to Hebrew parents, hidden in a basket, rescued by the Pharaoh’s daughter, raised as a prince of Egypt, found himself at 80 years of age, a poor shepherd in a barren land.
Having fled because he had killed an Egyptian task- master to protect a fellow Hebrew, Moses had settled into his new life, and for 40 years had been a shepherd.
Now, God needs him for His own purpose and plan. Several chapters following this one record the conversations that God had with Moses.
Lessons to learn:
- Moses lived his life in such close communion with heaven that he was continually conversing with his God. For Moses, prayer seemed to be the immediate action in every situation; whether in joy, sorrow, trial or triumph, he spoke with his God.
- Dialog between a person praying and God who responds is an important concept about prayer.
- Doubt often stems from our feeling of personal inadequacy, as it did with Moses.
- But note that doubt in Moses was a driving force in his dialog with God.
Questions To Ponder:

- How can we “dialog” with God? And how often do we?________________
- Do you have doubts that God could use you in His Kingdom?___________
