Moses obeyed God and went to Pharaoh and demanded the release of the Israelites. As a result, Pharaoh made the work more difficult for the Israelites. This difficulty brought Moses into conflict with the Israeli leaders.
Moses responded by doing the right thing, he brought it all to the LORD as recorded in Exodus 5:22.
I am reminded in this that I do not have sufficient perspective to accurately interpret my circumstances. If I am having difficulties, it may be because I have strayed from God’s plan. But in this case, Moses was doing exactly what God wanted him to do and there were still difficulties.
So what better to do than to check back with the one who does have sufficient perspective to understand what is happening? If I look to God for direction then I can have my direction altered if I have strayed off course, or I can be reassured when I have stayed the course.
How grateful I am that I am not left on my own to figure it out.
