metaphysics of the prophet moses

             In Islam, God acts in the life of the prophet Moses, adding force to his words through action.
             According to the Koran, Moses is summoned by God, yet fears to perform of what is asked of him. Moses is told to go warn Pharaoh and his people of their sinful ways. Moses replies by asking God to send his brother Aaron with him, because Moses does not believe he will be able to deliver the message. So God sends Moses and Aaron, and they deliver the message, and Pharaoh does not believe them. Moses was a wanted man, for he killed an Egyptian years earlier. Moses was not able to speak the Egyptian's language very well. However, God gave him and his brother Aaron the strength and courage to go and warn Pharaoh and his people. By this, God has acted through Moses and Aaron to add power to his words.
             I feel that a totally transcendent being can act in human events, to a certain degree. When something bad is happening in our lives, and then we suddenly feel that "lift" or strength to carry on, I feel that is God helping us through a situation in our lives. I believe that God acts through us not with us. By that I mean if had a test and forgot to study, I could not fall asleep, hoping to wake up with the test being completed by God, because that will never happen. I feel that in today's society, God just leaves us little clues to help guide us in the right path in life. I believe that God acts in human events mainly because, of all the stuff that has gone down in my life, there is no way I made it here in one piece without something or someone watching out for me, so I give God the credit for that.
