Wednesday, June 24

Moses was by far the meekest of all the men.—Num. 12:3.

 

When Moses was 80 years old, Jehovah assigned him to deliver Israel from bondage in Egypt. (Ex. 3:10) Several times, Moses tried to excuse himself. But Jehovah remained patient and even empowered Moses to perform miracles. (Ex. 4:2-9, 21) He could have frightened Moses into speedy submission. Instead, Jehovah was patient and kind, making an effort to reassure his modest and humble servant. Did this considerate approach work? Absolutely! Moses became an outstanding leader who tried to deal with others in the same mild and considerate way that Jehovah dealt with him. If you have a measure of authority, how important it is that you imitate Jehovah by being considerate, kind, and patient when dealing with those under your care! (Col. 3:19-21;1 Pet. 5:1-3) When you strive to imitate Jehovah and the Greater Moses, Jesus Christ, you will be both approachable and refreshing to others.—Matt. 11:28, 29. w18.09 24-25 ¶7-10

Good text. We all know that Moses wrote  the book of Numbers, yet it is a possibility that his secretary wrote that verse. Just like the book of Deuteronomy, we know that Moses wrote this book, but he could not the end of that book because he was dead. Hence his secretary wrote it.
