Moses can be described as the unlikely messenger for the good of a people in need of a leader. He found himself in a position bigger than him expected to solve an impossible task( his opinion)
From desert winds, his voice arose,
A shepherd’s path where silence grows.
With trembling heart and stammered plea,
He faced the call of destiny.
“Who am I, Lord?” he dared to say,
“Too weak, too flawed to lead the way.”
But God replied, “I’ll be your guide,
Through fire and sea, stand by your side.”
The staff he held, a lifeless rod,
Became a tool of the living God.
Before Pharaoh’s throne, he stood unbowed,
Defying the king, his spirit proud.
Across the night, through cries and pain,
He led them forth, unshackled, unchained.
The Red Sea loomed, its depths untold,
A wall of doubt, both fierce and cold.
But Moses spoke, his faith aflame:
“Be still, and see the Lord proclaim
His power vast, His mercy wide—
No storm can stand where He abides.”
The waters parted, a path revealed,
A nation saved, a fate unsealed.
Through every trial, he bore God’s flame,
A flawed man raised to a holy name.
Moses embodies the paradox of humanity’s imperfection meeting God’s grace and purpose. As a man, he struggled with flaws and failures; his act of killing an Egyptian slave master (Exodus 2:11-12) was an impulsive and desperate attempt to fight injustice but also a grave sin. It reveals a man torn between his Hebrew identity and his privileged Egyptian upbringing, trying to reconcile the two.
Yet, despite his past, God called Moses to lead the Israelites out of bondage—a testament to divine forgiveness and the transformative power of purpose. As a messenger of God, Moses became a vessel for miracles, a voice for liberation, and a mediator of the covenant at Mount Sinai. His story teaches us that God doesn’t choose the perfect but perfects those He chooses.
Moses’ life is a reminder that being deeply flawed doesn’t disqualify someone from being used for greatness. It is through God’s mercy and Moses’ willingness to obey that he was shaped into a leader, lawgiver, and servant of divine will.
