1.Nothing makes friends like reducing people to forced labor.
Even better is when you kill their babies.
p.s.-God doesn't like it, either.
2.
Moses, one of the great leaders of the Old Testament was...a murderer. And you think God can't use a sinner like you?
Have you noticed that a lot of people so far in the Bible have picked up wives at the well? What, the bar and the internet weren't working?
God hears our groans and remembers His people. Whenever God "remembers His people" in the Bible, good things happen (for His people, anyway...not so much for their enemies).
3.
God calls. Moses' answer: "Here I am!" Good answer, Moses.
"Who am I..." (v. 11)? Nobody, that's who.
Who is God? 'I AM.' Works for me.
4.
Moses was also a poor public speaker. He was also a little reluctant at times. He had lots of reasons why he wasn't up to the task.
So God got mad and told him to suck it up.
The people believed (at least until the going got tough).
5.
Sometimes things get worse before God makes them better.

Well, we do call bars "watering holes"...
True enough. Is it bad that so far in my Bible-reading this time around, I have come up with an idea for two micro-brews (Beer Lahoi Roi and Beer Sheba) and a singles' bar (The Watering Hole)?
If this is the Spirit's guidance, I'm on board!
