Moses continues his memoir of sorts to the people and in this incident, God says to Moses, "Do not fear!" He then gives him a reason not to fear, one, because he has given him in to your hands, and then two, he gives him something to have faith by reminding him of the time he led Moses to victory over a similar king. Often God calls us to do things that will lead us to fear, and when he does, he will remind us first of who He is, His strength and power and sovereingty, and then he reminds us of what he has already done in us and through us. It is with this that we must walk by faith and not by sight and trust and fear our God who alone is immortal and invisible and the only wise God.
Ex 3:5 - “Do not come any closer,” God said. “Take off your sandals, for the place where you are standing is holy ground.”
Fear of God sometimes needs to be something we are trained in... Because I am holy, you are to take off your sandals. Because I am God, you need to revere me. It is for your best interest.
