Unfortunately there are any number of people who never learn from their mistakes. As they age, they do not grow in wisdom, they simple become more set in their ways. Thankfully that was not the case with Moses. As a young man he just assumed the Israelites would recognize him as their God appointed deliverer but they didn’t (Acts 7:25). As an older, wiser, man he presented himself to the elders and won their support and confidence before challenging Pharaoh (Ex. 3:16-18).
“Go assemble the elders of Israel…(and they) will listen to you. Then you and the elders are to go to the King of Egypt…”
— Exodus 3:16, 18 (NIV 1984)
Lord Jesus, help us to learn from our mistakes and then help us to put them behind us and move on. In Your holy name we pray. Amen.
