In the previous chapter Moses became very discouraged and began to question why God had put him in this situation and then why he had not delivered His people. When we are discouraged it is very easy to be tempted to question God and wonder why He hasn’t taken care of our problems. However, just like Moses, we must trust Him and be assured that his purpose and timing is for our ultimate good. Moses certainly was discouraged but in this passage he takes his problem to the Lord! When he does God encourages him by reminding him of:
God’s purpose in allowing Pharaoh to oppress Israel was that His power and glory might be known to the world. However, when Moses reported these assurances to the people they still would not listen (v. 9). This caused Moses to hesitate and question his own oratorical ability. However, this objection was answered by the Lord’s command for him to again go to Pharaoh and demand the release of Israel (vv. 10-13).
Application
I should never be discouraged and tempted to quit when other Christians don’t seen to appreciate what I’m doing for the Lord? Instead I need to trust His timing and ultimate purpose.
