current worship series—Detours Road Rage (Exod. 4:18–6:1) — Through a lot of effort and a couple of
potential pitfalls, Moses finally met up with his brother Aaron and completed
the return trip to Egypt. He revealed the signs given by God to Aaron, and then
to the Israelites. Everything was going great! Everyone was so excited that God
was about to save them! And then . . . the whole enterprise came crashing down
around them. Pharaoh wouldn’t release them, didn’t care what God had said,
and even made the Israelites work harder. And to top it all off, now the Israelites
hated Moses. Things in our lives don’t always go the way we plan them, nor do
they take place according to our time frames. But in those moments, we have
the option to act divisively, grumble, complain against one another and go our
own way, or we can stay the course and trust that God will complete his work
through us and in us according to his time frame.
