Next, we see that Moses' identifying as an Israelite led him to intervene on behalf of another Israelite, at which time he killed and buried an Egyptian.  Moses thought his act was hidden, but it was seen by others.  We today may think that our sins are hidden, but if no one else sees them, God does.  Moses' action would bring consequences, just as our sin today does  Though God forgives our sins, that does not mean that He removes all the earthly consequences for them.  Because of what Moses did, he had to flee from Egypt and Pharaoh, for fear of Pharaoh because Pharaoh had ordered him to be killed.  Moses spent many years working for his then father-in-law, and was doing very little if anything to help his fellow Israelites.  When we are running from our sins, we can do very little for our fellow Christians.  Then, Moses encountered God.  Though God had protected him as a baby and he identified with the people of Israel, Moses so far had not had an encounter with God that we are told of.  I believe that Moses knew Who God was, but that did not mean that he knew God.  We today may know Who God is, but until we have a personal encounter with Him, through Jesus Christ, then we do not really know God.  God called Moses for a particular task, and I am sure it was not one that Moses wanted to do.  Moses was to go to Pharaoh, who was a different one by now, and tell him that God said that Pharaoh was to let the people of Israel, God's chosen people, go.  God may today call us to go into situations that we don't want to go into, and some might even be dangerous, but we must be willing to go.  Moses first asked God who he should say had sent him, and God replied, "I am that I am."   We either accept the fact that God is God, or we do not.  Moses began to offer excuses.  He could not speak well.  Moses was looking at his own abilities instead of the power of God.  God answered Moses' concern by telling him that He would send Moses' brother Aaron to speak for him.  God will answer our concerns today when He calls us to do something for Him.  We simply have to put our faith in God and not in our self.
