GOD TALKS TO MOSES

Burning bush
              Moses grows up and becomes a man .His mother Jochebed taught him about the true living god and how he saved him from being cast into the river. When Moses returned to the Princess when he saw his own people suffering under slavery his heart was troubled . One day while he was walking around the city he saw two men fighting with each other and they are one Egyptian and the other one is Hebrew. Moses got angry and killed the Egyptian for fighting with Hebrew and buried him in the sand . The other day he again saw two Hebrews fighting he went to them and asks why they were fighting  among them selves than one of the Hebrew tell him that he knows what Moses had done to that Egyptian. The news that Moses killed an Egyptian the other  day reached to the ears of Pharaoh , By hearing that news king was  furious and commands to kill Moses. 
                                                       Moses fled for his life and he dwelt in the place of Midian . The priest of the Midian had seven daughters , one day when Moses was sitting near a well , the seven daughters of the priest of Midian came to draw water for there flocks , mean while some shepherds came and drove them away than Moses  helped  the girls and drew water for their flocks. When the girls returned home their father asked them that how come they were back so soon than the girl explained there father how an Egyptian helped  them from the bully shepherd and drew water for them. After listening to every thing their father sends the girls to fetch Moses to home so that he will eat some bread with them. Moses was content  to dwell with that man and he gave one of his daughter Zipporah as a wife to Moses . As the time passed by the king of Egypt died , and the children of Israel cried to god , to deliver them from the hands of Egyptians . the Lord heard the cries of his children and came down to help them .
                   Moses was taking care of his father in laws flocks , he led them to the west side of the desert and came to the mountain of God . God's angel appeared to Moses in a flame of fire out of a bush , Moses went near the bush to see whats happening to the bush , then the Lord spoke to Moses saying that he had surely heard the cries of his children and he came to deliver them , he wants to give them a land of honey and milk (the promised land) Moses should speak to the Pharaoh to let the people of  Israel to go to the promised land . "Not me god Moses begged i am nothing , don't send me as their leader" but god promised him that , he will be with him and he will lead his people into the promised land . God said "take your stick Moses , you will do wonderful things with this stick , that will prove to my people and to the king of Egypt that i am the true and living god , most powerful than the God's he worshiped . Moses obeyed Gods word and took his two sons , wife and the stick in hand , set to the land of Egypt.
