God approaches Moses, when he is in need, pleading for Moses to advise the Israelites into safety, unfortunately Moses is first low in determination for himself. In order to officially escape the Israelites out of Egypt, he needs God’s overpowering spirit to bring down destructive plagues on the vile Egyptians. At the final exit to freedom, Moses is at a dead-end, and only one man has the ability to help Moses split the waters, solely God himself.

When people think of Joseph, many think of him as the man who saved Egypt or as a great ruler. Not many people realize that it took a lot of hard work for Joseph to get to that point. Yes, God blessed him and gave Joseph that position but Joseph also had to put in a lot of hard work to get to where God could use him.
