You can trust in man or God (Jer 17:5-8); Moses failed originally by trusting in man to deliver Israel (Act 7:25). Three elements of deliverence: (1) there must be a divine commission - God's order, power and in His way (Exo 4:18-23). Moses starts out right orienting to authority; (2) there must be personal refining (Exo 4:24). The Lord "meets Moses at the inn to kill him" because Moses' bitterness for 40 years (Heb 12:14-15, 1Jo 5:16, Eze 18:31-32); Moses was on the verge of the sin unto death (1Co 5:1-5, Jam 5:19-20, 2Sa 12:13, Psa 118:17-18). God promised Abraham in Gen 15:16 but Moses violated Gen 17:14 - his son was not circumcisized (Exo 4:24); circumcision is a sign or regenerating faith (Rom 4:11); (3) collective unity - the formation of a team (Exo 4:27-31, Luk 10:1)
After 40 years in the Egyptian palace then 40 years in the desert then 40 years leading Israel to their land Moses' life can actually teach us about living in the time we live.
