How can we apply the example of Moses' deeds to our daily lives? The Final Snapshot of Moses’ Life “and for all the mighty power and terrifying deeds that Moses performed in the sight of all Israel.” (Deuteronomy 34:12) What Those “Mighty Deeds” Looked Like • Confronting Pharaoh and announcing each plague (Exodus 7–12) • Parting the Red Sea so Israel walked through on dry ground (Exodus 14:21-31) • Calling down daily manna (Exodus 16:15) • Striking the rock for water at Horeb (Exodus 17:6) • Lifting his hands in intercession until Israel prevailed over Amalek (Exodus 17:11-13) • Receiving the Law and building the tabernacle exactly as God prescribed (Exodus 25–40) Core Principles Behind the Deeds • Wholehearted trust: acting before seeing the outcome (Hebrews 11:29) • Courage rooted in God’s promises, not personal strength (Joshua 1:5 echoes Moses’ assurance) • Persistent intercession for others (Numbers 14:19-20) • Unwavering obedience even in small details (Exodus 40:16) • Humility that gives God all credit (Numbers 12:3; Exodus 15:1) Practical Ways to Walk in Moses-Style Faith Today • Start the day with Scripture, expecting clear direction just as Moses waited at the tent of meeting. • Take the first step of obedience before circumstances “part.” Trust God’s timing for the miracle. • Speak truth to power—graciously but firmly—when confronted with injustice or falsehood. • Keep hands “raised” for family, church, and nation: schedule specific intercession slots and stick to them. • Celebrate God’s interventions publicly so others see His glory, not ours. • Guard humility: regularly recount personal weaknesses and God’s sufficiency (2 Corinthians 12:9). Cross-References That Reinforce These Applications • Psalm 77:14: “You are the God who works wonders.” • 1 Samuel 12:24: “Only fear the Lord and serve Him faithfully with all your heart; consider what great things He has done for you.” • John 14:21: Obedience as love’s proof. • James 5:16: “The effective prayer of a righteous man can accomplish much.” A Simple Weekly Checklist □ Daily Scripture reading and listening for assignment □ One step of visible obedience outside comfort zone □ Identifiable act of courageous truth-telling □ Named intercession list prayed through at least three times □ Public thanksgiving for a specific answered prayer □ Personal humility reminder—journal or verbal testimony Moses’ mighty deeds were God’s power displayed through willing hands. Following the same pattern turns ordinary days into arenas for the extraordinary. |
