CENTRAL THOUGHTHe whom God calls He empowers. TEXT: EXODUS 3:1-22 INTRODUCTION: In the last study, we learned that Moses, out of fear, ran away from Egypt to Midian (Ex. 2:14-15). While there, God appeared to Moses in the burning bush and asked him to go to Pharaoh to demand for the freedom of the Israelites from their bondage in Egypt. This was a daunting task. He was to go and confront one of the most powerful rulers at the time on behalf of mere slaves without any physical army backing him up. For 40 years, Moses was trained in the wisdom of the Egyptians whilst in Pharaoh’s household (Acts 7:22). The next 40 years was spent as a shepherd in Midian.

As small as the ant is, however, it is featured prominently in Scriptures. It was used as an instructional aid to drive home fundamental lessons on wisdom about orderly lifestyle and diligence.
