Show More When we look at the life of Moses, we see that all through his life he had choices to make, sometimes they were good choices and sometimes they were bad. Whatever choice he made there were always consequences. Look at the various choices Moses had to make:

Exodus 14 - Moses faces the sea - A big stumbling block - could have thought that God had left him all alone.

Exodus 16 - God feeds the people so they don’t starve. People trusted Moses’ word from God.

Numbers 13-14 - God gives Moses’ the promised land - he sends out spies and because it looks too hard they don’t take the land - Moses’ choice meant that he never saw the promised land (Numbers 14:30), they wandered the wilderness for 40 years. There are always options, some will get you lost for a time and others will keep you on track. We can learn a lot from others so we don’t make the same mistakes.
