Not Fair!
It's true, leadership is seldom a game with fair play involved. Moses certainly didn't think that God was going to allow such a thing to occur. Of course, Moses probably wasn't thinking retrospectively at this point, because if he was then surely he would have realized that his whole life was a set up.
- Raised in the home of the evil Pharaoh, taught by the best educators of that time, but he still had a speech impediment.
- Felt compassion towards his people but when he reacted on that compassion he was forced into hiding away from them for years.
Now, he is called of God (through a bush) to lead the people out of Egypt, given the words to say, a person to say the words, the miraculous signs to give AND he get the people more in trouble. I imagine he thought, as I would have, that we was going to march in there with the power of God, the words of the Father, and demand the people's freedom to worship, Pharaoh would disagree, he would demonstrate the miraculous and Pharaoh would bow down and cry out, "YES, Take your people and GO!"
God wasn't against Moses, quite the contrary, God was busy doing a work in Pharaoh and in the children of Israel (it wasn't about this moment, but rather about the desert)
Man, oh man - how often I become frustrated when things don't go the way I THINK God said they would. I assume that God gives me a direction because He has made the path perfectly smooth for me. God forgive me for becoming disgruntled at Your work through me.
