Moses life can be divided into three periods,born in Egypt were he was wonderfully preserved by God, then he was wonderfully called by God,then he was wonderfully used by God.He lived in Egypt for forty years,40 yrs in Midian forty years ,and forty in the wilderness.Let us consider how he was wonderfully preserved ,Egypt was ruled by a very wicked man, wicked people do wicked things,they fear neither God nor man.He was worldly wise Exodus 1 v10, James describes such wisdom as being unspiritual ,demonic,we can think of many people who were full of such wisdom,there were many through out history,what they concocted was trully demonic,I mention but one ,Hitler.Pharaoh oppressed the people of God on a false pretext Ex 1 v10. crushing them with hard labour.It didn't stop there ,he gave orders to cull them ,like we do with animals everyone had to obey,with but one couple hid there new born babe. But when they could not hide him anymore,the wife made a basket coated it with Tar and pitch,and placed it among the reeds along the banks of the river Nile.The rest is history,he ended up being adopted by Pharoahs daughter.Yes he was wonderfully preserved by God.People often ask a very eldery person what is the secret of living so long,the answer is God,it was He who preserved Moses,no one else,only God,and he will preserve you.
