Moses in Egypt: The Setting, The Unique Voice, The Calling

We are reading God's words to know God's thoughts
To adjust how we think, in order to reflect the ideas of God
We want to be like Jesus.

The 8th Century BC writer Isaiah wrote this:
"For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, declares the LORD. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts. 'For as the rain and the snow come down from heaven and do not return there but water the earth, making it bring forth and sprout, giving seed to the sower and bread to the eater, so shall my word be that goes out from my mouth; it shall not return to me empty, but it shall accomplish that which I purpose, and shall succeed in the thing for which I sent it.' "

We find these words included in the anthology of historic literature called "The Bible"
