What does the Bible say about God's preparation for His servants?

The Bible teaches that God often prepares His servants through experiences that may seem insignificant or even harsh at the time. In Moses's case, he spent 40 years in the wilderness tending sheep, a task that may have seemed lowly, yet it was essential preparation for leading the people of Israel. This time was critical for Moses to learn dependence on God, understanding his role as a shepherd, and recognizing the futility of the world's power and prestige, as highlighted in Exodus 3:1. Just as God prepared Moses, He prepares each of His people for their unique callings, often using life experiences that shape their character and faith in Him.
