As is common when someone tries to help others, the strategy backfires. Chapter 5 of Exodus presents Pharaoh making the lives of the Israelites harder because of Moses and Aaron. The people reject them as leaders and question their calling. This is a problem that many of God’s servants experience.

Yahweh’s plan is even questioned by Moses. Again, this is not unusual for the called. We often do not understand why circumstances worsen when we are being obedient. This often causes Christians to quit. Has this ever happened to you?

Exodus 6 has Jehovah telling Moses to watch what He will do to Pharaoh. The plan is not developing the way any of the Jews expected. There is a method in this scheme. Power will be demonstrated, and the gods of Egypt will not be able to stand against Him.

The called once again tries to provide an excuse for expected failure. This is all part of what is predicted. Nothing surprises God. What unexpected twists has He given you in your efforts to follow Him?
