Moses had the FEAR of GOD instilled in him early in his ministry, which any man used of God must have for we will either have the FEAR of GOD which is a blessing or the fear of man which is a curse:

And the Lord said unto Moses, When you go to return to the land of Egypt, see that you do all those wonders before Pharaoh, which I have put in your hand: but I will harden his heart, that he shall not let the people go.

And you shall say unto Pharaoh, Thus says the Lord, Israel is my son, even my firstborn:

And I say unto you, Let my son go, that he may serve me: and if you refuse to let him go, behold, I will slay your son, even your firstborn.

Exodus 4:21-23

Here we see God instructing Moses exactly how to deal with Pharoah. Watch the dramatic change in the next verse:

And it came to pass by the way in the inn, that the Lord met him (Moses) and sought to KILL him.

Exodus 4:24

Moses had been instructed by God to circumcise his son but apparently had put it off because of objections from his wife. Now he was to find out how fearful a thing it is to fall into the hands of the living God when being disobedient. And don't think for a minute that Moses did not know what God's intentions were! I am certain that he was immediately down on the ground crying out for mercy! And now, he could even go home (run home) and face his wife with all authority, just as he would later face Pharoah:

Then Zipporah took a sharp stone and cut off the foreskin of her son and cast it at his feet and said, Surely a bloody husband you are to me.

So he (God) let him (Moses) go: then she said, A bloody husband you are, because of the circumcision.

And the Wrath of God was removed from Moses and he knew the Lord had forgiven him for things are back to normal in the following verses:

And the Lord said to Aaron, Go into the widerness to meet Moses. And he went and met him in the mount of God and kissed him.

And Moses told Aaron all then words of the Lord who had sent him and all the signs which he had commanded him.

Exodus 4:27,28

May each one of us know the FEAR of GOD in our lives for it is truely a blessing! It will keep us from the fear of man in our ministries.

For our God is a consuming fire.

Hebrews 12:29
