Moses A willing servant or in the wrong place at the wrong time
Moses seems as though in the beginning of his service to God that he was just in the wrong place at the wrong time. It seems as though he really doesn't want the job as The Lord's messenger. He tries to get out of it any way he can think of. He just doesn't want the responsibility, but as time passes he seems to change his tune and follows God's every word.
