He went out to his brethren and looked at their burdens

Exodus 2:11
Now it came to pass in those days, when Moses was grown, that he went out to his brethren and looked at their burdens. And he saw an Egyptian beating a Hebrew, one of his brethren.

At the time when Moses struck the Egyptian in his youth, he may already had a sense that God called on Him to deliver His people. However, he had not learn to depend on God, and do it God's way yet. After that he had to spend over forty years away from Egypt as a shepherd. There are many things that can be said of his shepherding role, and the responsibility he would have later on the children of Israel. Also we are not told about his spiritual health during those forty years, but we can assume that he never left God, and welcomed God into his life at the end of those forty years. God had the perfect timing to mold Moses into the right person to deliver His people.
