I found this story of Moses very interesting and it gives us some insight into the inner feelings of Moses. At first we see Moses as afraid to take on the role but then he becomes a fearless leader through which God was working.
When God first appears to Moses through the burning bush and tells him of his mission his first reaction is to make an excuse. He says to God that the people won’t believe he came from God, that they won’t listen to him, and that he won’t be able to communicate it to them. This shows that Moses was afraid and doubtful of the mission laid out before him. It is in this major moment in the story of Exodus that we see God call a man who was afraid to follow him.
But as the story continues we see that Moses, through the works of God, becomes a powerful voice for the Israelites and, after the ten plagues, leads them to freedom. It is in this journey out of Egypt that we see the full scope of Moses’ faith and trust in God. In this journey he does what God asks, works miracles, and eventually brings God’s people out of slavery.
I think Moses is portrayed this way because it shows great extent of the power of God. Because God chose a man that felt like he could not and did not want to lead the Israelites to freedom, we see that through God’s grace anything is possible. And through this we get a deeper sense that we as people of faith need to lean on God’s power.

I agree with your general opinion of Moses. He initially comes out as a character with clear flaws, but as the story progresses, he becomes more sure of himself through his faith in God. I liked how you not only talked about Moses’ treatment towards God, but also about God’s treatment towards Moses and that anything is possible through God’s grace.
