Moses had two-thirds of his time preparing for one-third of his life.

Moses had two-thirds of his time preparing for one-third of his life.

 

 

At the age of 40, one day in Egypt,

Moses, having reached the age of 40,

saw an injustice done by an Egyptian to one of his fellow Hebrews.

After spending 40 years in Midian, one day near Mount Sinai in the wilderness,

amidst the burning bush, Moses witnessed the appearance of an angel.

He led the Israelites out of Egypt, and for 40 years in Egypt,

through the Red Sea, and in the wilderness,

he performed amazing works and miracles

(Acts 7:23-24, 30, 36).

Before performing these amazing works and miracles for 40 years,

God prepared him for 80 years in Egypt and Midian.

Looking at Moses' 120-year life,

he had two-thirds of preparation time

to carry out God’s work for one-third of his life.
