• {v.11-15} Moses’ faith is seen in his giving up, when grown to age, all the advantages of the position in which God had set him by His providence. Providence may, and often does, give that which forms, in many respects, the servants of God for their work, as vessels; but cannot be their power in the work. (“Exodus 1-2” by J.N. Darby)
• Moses, then, identifies himself with the people of God. A certain natural activity, and the unconscious habits of a strength which was not purely from on high, accompanied him, perhaps; however, it is the first devotedness which is pointed out by the Holy Spirit {Heb. 11:24-26} as the good and acceptable fruit of faith. (“Exodus 1-2” by J.N. Darby)
