How do you see Moses’ upbringing shaping him for God’s service?


Moses upbringing was a miracle directed by Jesus to fulfill the plan of God; Moses was adopted into the Pharaoh household by the Pharaoh’s daughter and was in line to be the Pharaoh someday.  I believe one verse sums up Moses upbringing would be Acts 7:22.  Moses was educated or learned in all the wisdom of the Egyptians.  This short sentence has many different results when we look at the real meaning of the words.  Moses was taught poetry, mathematics, music, medicine, and all the modern things at the time.  Moses was mighty or powerful in speech and deeds or action.   Josephus tells us he was the general of the Egyptian army, defeating the Ethiopians when they invaded Egypt. He was taught Egypt religion but learned about the One, True God as he grew up.  When we look at how Moses was brought up, with all the resources that was at Moses hands, we can see how Moses was ready to lead the Nation of Israel after 40 years trial wilderness to build up the right character for the job.
