Moses did what God asked and it backfired. We have all felt this at some point and we wonder if being obedient was worth it.
“Moses returned to the Lord and said, “Why, Lord, why have you brought trouble on this people? Is this why you sent me? Ever since I went to Pharaoh to speak in your name, he has brought trouble on this people, and you have not rescued your people at all.” Exodus 5:22-23
Some prayers we pray don’t sound nice. They are not polished. Here is one such prayer. Moses has done the right thing but it is all going wrong. He is now confused about what God is doing and seeks an explanation.
Obedience doesn’t come with a guarantee that things get easier. Sometimes obedience is the very thing that stirs up the opposition. You forgive someone and the relationship gets colder. You take the step of faith and the money gets tighter.
Moses assumed obedience should produce immediate relief. Scripture tells us this is a wrong assumption.
If you’re in a season where doing the right thing hasn’t made things better for you then this is the experience of Moses. Hang in there God hasn’t finished His work.
