Chapter 2 10 (Hebrews 11:26, 27). In Egypt Moses Studied Laws of God—The strength of Moses was his connection with the Source of all power, the Lord God of hosts. He rises grandly above every earthly inducement, and trusts himself wholly to God. He considered that he was the Lord’s. While he was connected with the official interests of the king of Egypt, he was constantly studying the laws of God’s government, and thus his faith grew. That faith was of value to him. It was deeply rooted in the soil of his earliest teachings, and the culture of his life was to prepare him for the great work of delivering Israel from bondage. He meditated on these things; he was constantly listening to his commission from God. After slaying the Egyptian, he saw that he had not understood God’s plan, and he fled from Egypt and became a shepherd. He was no longer planning to do a great work, but he became very humble; the mists that were beclouding his mind were expelled, and he disciplined his mind to seek after God as his refuge (Letter 21a, 1893). {1BC 1098.6}

kapitel 2

10 (Heb. 11,26, 27). I Ægypten studerede Moses Guds love.--Moses' styrke var hans forbindelse med al krafts kilde, hærskarernes Herre Gud. Han rejer sig stort over alle jordiske bevægelser, og sætter sin lid helt til Gud. Han betragtede sig selv som Herrens. Medens han var knyttet til ægypterkongens embeder, studerede han hele tiden lovene for Guds regering, og derved voksede hans tro. Den tro var af værdi for ham. Den blev dybt rodfæstet i hans tidligste lære, og hans livs oplæring var at berede sig for det store arbejde, at udfri Israel fra trældom. Han mediterede over disse ting; han har hele tiden lyttet til hans (1099) hverv fra Gud. Efter at have slået æypteren ihjel, så han at han ikke havde forstået Guds plan, og han flyede fra Ægypten og blev en fårehyrde. Han planlagde ikke længere at gøre det store arbejde, men blev meget ydmyg; sløret der optågede hans sind blev bortdrevet, og han disciplinerede sig til at søge efter Gud som hans tilflugt. (Brev 21a, 1893).
