God uses those He would - Exodus 1-4

God needed a leader to lead His people out of Eygypt. We don't know what other options He had. We don't know if there were greater leaders than Moses whom God could have chosen from, but it was Moses who God wanted to lead His people. Moses believed he wasn't adequate to make the change from flock leader to nation guider. Yet, that is what God wanted. Moses had a special upbringing to put him in a special place of understanding the Egyptian world. God had designed that education. God used the earlier evil of the leader of that day to get Moses into position and trained for the leadership needed to get His people out of the evilness this day. That is how God works. God used the circumstances in Moses' life to train him for the battle before him. Moses didn't know that. In fact Moses didn't even look at his qualification forged over years. Where Moses could only see his inadequacies, God saw his years of training. God had built Moses. He equipped him with knowledge of where His people were (Egypt) and where they would be going (the same wilderness where Moses lead his sheep). God is in the process of either using those He has built or is building those He will eventually use. You and I are one of the other. God is using circumstances around us to give us a place to lead or using them to teach us how to lead later.
