Yes, tonight was unusually late.
Apologies to all.
Does it count?
Yes?
I don't care.
Here it is anyway.
Exodus 6
God appears to take His relationship with Moses to a higher level.
He explains the difference between His relationship with Moses to that of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
He "appeared" to them.
But did not make Himself "known".
man if I was Moses, I would be so nervous.
And worried.
And really nervous.
Yet he is still concerned that no-one will listen to him.
For all his knowledge he still hasn't gotten it.
God can do all things.
God does do all things.
God wants to help His people.
He wants them to be free.
He HAS heard their groanings.
He HAS heard their anguish.
He IS going to save them.
He IS taking them to the land He promised them in the days of Abraham, in the days of Isaac, in the days of Jacob.
Pharaoh is nothing.
Sometimes I don't think we get it.
We read and see what God can do.
We see how He keeps His promises to save, to heal, to care, to love.
And we bale on Him at the first sign of not getting things our way.
My way.
Patience is hard when things are tough.
When we are used to getting a response to everything else so quickly.
Why can't God respond better, quicker, NOW?
Who's to say He hasn't?
It may be a better response than we thought.
It's more than likely a more suitable response.
We just can't see it because we're looking for the wrong thing.
We're listening for the wrong answer.
We're hoping for the answer we have already tried to tell God we want to hear.
We have missed the point.
Like Moses.
Again.

You know I found Moses Whinging a but annoying while reading this morning! God warned him he was going to make Pharaoh's heart hard toward him, so Gods glory would be even more obvious!
Thanks for reminding me of the big picture because he really did start to sound like my four year old!

No worries Natalie. Thanks for reading.
True Heidi, but he was far less cute I'm sure.
