Don't Let Murder Slow You Down

.
An important lesson in the Bible and in life is "Don't judge!"
Or, judge slowly.
or
-- Give people the benefit of the doubt.

Because you never know what they might be dealing with.

Moses is raised in the palace of the Pharaoh in Egypt, (Exodus 2:10).
But the first action he takes (that's mentioned in the Bible) is to murder a guy!

He saw a taskmaster "he spied an Egyptian smiting an Hebrew" (Ex. 2:11).
Then what?
"And he looked this way and that way, and when he saw that there was no man, he slew the Egyptian, and hid him in the sand." (Ex. 2:12)

Woah! It wasn't like in "Prince of Egypt", where Moses is so upset and overcome with pity/rage that he pushes the taskmaster off scaffolding!
No!
He looked "this way and that way" to make sure nobody saw, killed the guy and hid the body!
If the film "Goodfellas" taught me anything, it's that you MUST hide the body.
Moses must have seen that, too.

But hey-- Moses goes on to do great things, is arguably the most venerated and righteous dude in the Bible... until that other guy comes along... Annakin... I mean Jesus.

So... the road to success is paved with failure... and murder!
