God's School in the Desert
Commentators like Calvin and Henry see Moses' flight not as a setback, but as a crucial part of God's plan. His 40 years in Midian served as a divine 'school.' Having been raised in luxury, Moses needed this period of hardship and solitude to be humbled and prepared for the immense task of leading Israel. This shows how God uses periods of exile or waiting to shape us for His purposes.
