The Bible says that no prophet emerged from Israel like Moses. He knew God face-to-face, and indeed he was called a "friend of God." This is high praise for somebody who spent his first forty years as a nobody. But how did Moses become a somebody?
He did it through trial and error, through his failures and God's forgiveness. The Lord refined and remade Moses by giving him many second chances.
God works in our lives the same way. He's still giving away second chances. The Lord wants to remake us. His goal for us is not a trouble-free life or a prosperous existence. God's goal is transformation, change from the basic raw product to a faithful, obedient, and refined disciple of Jesus Christ.
