Moses (Judeo-Christian)
The Prophet Moses was called upon by God to lead his people out of slavery in Egypt and to the “promised land of milk and honey” in Israel. He and the 12 tribes of Israel wandered through the desert and across the vast lands. Finally, after 40 years of constant travel, Moses was compelled to climb Mount Sinai, where he received an assurance from God that his people would be led to their promised land. Moses received Commandments from God that he was asked to deliver to the Israelites. These Commandments formed the basis for monotheism – the First Commandment being not to worship any other gods.
Moses was born in 15th-century B.C. Egypt to Amram and Jochebed. The Pharaoh, who was threatened by the increasing power and wealth of the Jewish people, ordered the murder of all newborn Jewish babies. Moses’ mother placed her baby in a waterproof reed basket and set him afloat down the Nile River, where she hoped he would attract the attention and compassion of the Pharaoh’s daughter. Her plan worked, and Moses was raised in the palace of the Pharaoh as if he were born of royalty.
Biblical accounts that tell of God teaching Moses to perform miraculous feats include: Moses striking a rock that gave forth enough water to quench the thirst of an entire congregation and their animals; parting the Red Sea and walking through it; having clear conversations with God through a burning bush; making a serpent turn into a rod; and others. He was a testament to the miracle of faithfully following Divine guidance. Moses helps spiritual aspirants and teachers of all faiths and religions.
He helps with dealing and negotiating with Authority figures. He has and can help with clear communication with God. He will also you with courage, faith, and leadership and also miracle working.
His life is story and testament to accepting a leadership role, even if you feel unsure or unqualified to perform that function. In the same way, Moses can help you “step up to the plate” and so the best job possible. Anytime that you feel uncertain about your power or abilities, call upon Moses:
Beloved Moses, please lend me your courage, and help me overcome fear and cast out doubt. I ask you to fill my heart with faith in my God-given abilities. Please guide my words and actions so that I may lead and guide others according to God’s will. Thank you.
