Moses was beautiful in God's sight, and destined to lead God's people out of slavery and into freedom. The first five books of the Hebrew Bible are called the books of Moses.
And yet Moses was born in peril, rescued by someone else, and was living a double life. Not many people would have picked him out as a child of destiny.
Where do we look for God is at work? It's easy to look in the obvious places. But God works in unexpected ways and in unexpected places, and if we're to be disciples, we have to be willing and open to being surprised. Let us not jump to conclusions about what God is and isn't up to, because it can often be hidden. Instead, let us be open to the leading of the Holy Spirit, willing to trust in God, and capable of setting down our preconceived ideas so that we can be open to new things.
