Train up a child in the way he should go,
And when he is old he will not depart from it. Prov. 22:6
Moses is one of the few men in the Bible that have been referred to as "a man of God." I have been challenged as to what causes a man to be a man of God? In the life of Moses I see five steps in him becoming a man that God could show Himself through:
Step 1- Supernatural Protection Hebrews 11:23; Exodus 2:1-10
Step 2- Spiritual Education
The Bible tells us in Exodus 2 that little baby Moses was found at the river's edge by Pharoah's daughter. She need someone who would nurse Moses, rear Moses, and train Moses. She asked a young Hebrew girl, Miriam, to find her someone who could do all that for Moses. Of course, she got the mother of her and Moses. Just when the devil thought he had destroyed the deliverer of Israel, God saves him, secures him, and trains him-all at the financial expense of the enemy.

Moses' parents did just what God's word teaches, they trained Moses in the way he should go. That word trained means, to prepare for an event such as an athelte training for a contest; to form into proper shape; to discipline for effective use. Moses' parents knew God had a purpose for their son's life, so they poured their spiritual training into him.
Even though Moses was intellectually trained for hours each day in the educational program of Egypt, he never forsook his spiritual training at home. It was those few hours with his parents, praying with them, listening to them, watching them example godliness to him, that shaped and fashioned Moses. This spiritual training daily from his parents gave him the solid foundation he neede to stand firm the rest of his life. Eighty years later he was the man of God that God used, because his parents made spiritual education a priority.
