Every man or woman of God needs an education. But the education needed to make a servant of the Lord is different from ordinary schooling. The world’s schools give people information. God’s school provides life experience. Rather than being held in formal buildings, God’s school meets on the playing field of hard knocks and humbling encounters. On completion of the world’s school, a person receives a document. On completion of God’s school, he has character.
Moses went to God’s school. He had already been schooled in the finest institutions of Egypt. He grew up as the son of Pharaoh’s daughter. He had the best of opportunities. But none of that prepared him for God’s plan for his life. He had gained great natural knowledge, but no knowledge of the coming Christ. But God had a plan for Moses’ education. He had to allow Moses to fail before he could enroll in His school.
The Bible says, “One day, after Moses had grown up, he went out to where his own people were and watched them at their hard labor. He saw an Egyptian beating a Hebrew, one of his own people. Glancing this way and that and seeing no one, he killed the Egyptian and hid him in the sand. The next day he went out and saw two Hebrews fighting. He asked the one in the wrong, “Why are you hitting your fellow Hebrew?” The man said, “Who made you ruler and judge over us? Are you thinking of killing me as you killed the Egyptian?” Then Moses was afraid and thought, “What I did must have become known.” When Pharaoh heard of this, he tried to kill Moses, but Moses fled from Pharaoh and went to live in Midian, where he sat down by a well” (Exodus 2:11-15).
God had to allow Moses to experience failure before he could be used in His kingdom. God enrolled Moses in His school in that Midianite desert. In essence, Moses began his studies in the University of Humility and studied under Professor Holy Spirit. Upon graduation, he would be God’s man. He would have acquired his DDG degree: Doctorate of Dependence on God.
In the University of Humility there were several courses that Moses would have to take. First, he had to learn that God’s work must be done in God’s time. Moses had killed an Egyptian. He had seen the suffering of His people. He wanted to set them free from their bondage. But he was forty years too early. God has a timetable. The man of God is a person in the right place at the right time with the right message. At first, Moses was in the right place at the wrong time. Moses had to learn to walk by the Holy Spirit and get on God’s timetable.
But Moses also had to learn that God’s work must be done in God’s power. Moses was trained in the warfare of the Egyptians. But God’s work isn’t done in the power of the human flesh. It must be done in the power of the Holy Spirit. Moses saw wrongs being inflicted on his Hebrew brethren. He wanted to correct that. He did his best; but his best did nothing but bring more suffering. He had to learn that God’s work cannot be done “by might or power, but by the Spirit of the Lord.”
Moses had one final lesson to learn in the University of Humility. He had to learn that God’s work must be done God’s way. The way of God is character. The way of the world leads to death and more bondage. The way of God leads to Christlike character. Before he could graduate from the University of Humility, Moses had to meet God on that mountain in Midian. In that encounter he would begin to really know God. Out of his knowledge of God, he would develop character. Then and only then, Moses would be prepared to lead God’s people out of their slavery.
