Last Sunday, we looked at the birth of Moses’ son Gershom and the profound significance of Moses, naming his greatest pain and brokenness. He was an alien in a foreign land physically, mentally, and emotionally.

In the wake of this self-awareness, it is important to note that Moses didn’t rush to do anything radical or change everything at once. Instead, he stayed with a few things that he did know. Things that kept him grounded in the reality of his life.

Moses seemed content to keep doing what he was doing – tending his father-in-law’s animals. In this action of just living life, Moses had space to pay attention to the usual and the unusual around him.
