Today, I read one of the chapters of Bible—Moses. I really love this chapter for it shows me the love of God and Moses’ perseverance to the Israel people. Following is the summary of Moses’ story.
Moses was a great Hebrew man whose story was described in the Bible from the Exodus to the Deuteronomy. He was descended from Levi and born in Goshen, city of Egypt, where a new Egypt king arose and changed his race destiny. Why he was so important in the Bible was because God commanded him to go back to save the children of Israel after he fled to the land of Midian. During the long journey to the Promised Land, he showed not only the Egypt king but also the children of Israel the signs from God. And the most important sign which he showed to them is that he divided the Red Sea. After they crossed the Red Sea, they went into the wildness. In the wildness, Moses suffered many difficulties such as the food and water shortage or the Hebrew people’s disobedience. However, even though the road to the Promised Land was difficult and tough, Moses’ faith to Lord did not decrease but increase. Finally, with his obedience and trust to the God, he succeeded to save the Israelites from the sufferings and leaded them to the Promised Land, Canaan.
As my point of view, I think Moses is indeed a great man among the Israelites. The reasons why I think he is the great is because he saved not only the Israel people but also he overcame many difficulties. Every time when he was upset because of the Israel people’s weak faith to God; he still held the belief to God and encouraged himself that he can do it!
I really admire his power and faith to God, and hope I can have a strong heart to believe in God.
