He is a part of a mistreated minority - grievously persecuted, not for doing something wrong, but for being perceived as a threat. Raised with privilege in the palace of a king, he had been spared the heartless treatment inflicted on his kinsmen. But watching the injustice day after day and year after year finally becomes too much for him to bear.
When he sees one of his own people suffering an inhuman beating at the hands of an Egyptian, Moses is filled with rage. He snaps. In an instant he kills the Egyptian and hides the body in the sand. But his angry, impetuous act is not committed in secret. When news of the murder reaches Pharaoh, Moses fears for his life and flees ( Exodus Chapter 2)
When you look at the life of Moses, you can see both the power and the potential problems inherent in anger.
Has anger ever clouded your judgement to the point that you acted rashly, and later regretted it?
Ultimately, you have the choice to act wisely or to react foolishly. In his lifetime, you can learn how to act rather than react! In doing so, you will demonstrate wisdom.
"A fool gives full vent to his anger, but a wise man keeps himself under control" (Proverbs 29:11)
