Ah gee, must I Wait Longer?

How often do we think that God has not acted fast enough? This is not anything new, Moses too thought that God was not acting quick enough. He had already met with Pharaoh once and assumed God would work to release the children of Israel. However, God reveals to Moses that this was not the way it was going to work (see verses below). God shows that there were lessons to learn. "You" are to see what I will do to Pharaoh. Also, that Pharaoh would release them under compulsion. Sometimes we are called upon to watch and wait. Jesus in John 13:7 says to Peter "What I do you do not realize now, but you will understand hereafter." NASU Is he saying that to you today? What is happening today may not be understood by us today, perhaps tomorrow . . . perhaps in eternity.

Ex 5:22-6:1 23 "Ever since I (Moses) came to Pharaoh to speak in Your name, he has done harm to this people, and You have not delivered Your people at all."6:1 Then the LORD said to Moses, "Now you shall see what I will do to Pharaoh; for under compulsion he will let them go, and under compulsion he will drive them out of his land." NASU
