When we consider the people of God (Hebrews) we need to consider the idea that God had been silent. We must also look at the reason that Moses had not been available. Consider that Moses continually was speaking to God but God often times was not giving Moses the answers he was looking for. For instance, Moses was born into a time when his very life was in danger.
What is it that you fear concerning your walk with God? Perhaps control, or loss of control? Moses’ mother hid him from the authorities until she could hide him no more. Have you lived a life unable to be confident in your Christian walk because it did not meet the established status quo?
