Moses was challenged to recognise God in the most unlikely place, and in the following verses we read how he is again challenged to lead his people to freedom despite his own misgivings about approaching those with power.

Similarly, Jesus knew he was facing likely death for his beliefs and teachings, "now my soul is troubled" Yet he found the courage to persevere.

We could pray that many more, including ourselves, will find that courage, even if it's only to speak out for justice and compassion in environments where we might be a lone voice.
