Moses' Sixth Complaint: Patience, Timing, and Listening To People

God has called Moses. God has shown Himself and His strength to Moses. God has sent Moses help at his request. God has even told Moses how things will go. Yet, when Moses begins to listen to people, his faith in God waivers. 

Prior to this, Moses had no problem standing up to the heads of Israel. He even spoke directly and boldly in the face of the most powerful ruler in the world. He made demands, in the face of death, and didn't think for a second his demands would not be given unto him. Then he does like all of us when things don't go the way we believe they should go for us, he started listening to the people. 

God says no flesh will glory in His presence. He is a jealous God, and will have no thing before Him. He also desires to prove to us how strong and capable He is to handle any and all of our situations. 

If we are commissioned by God, then we simply need to speak His Word. Then allow Him to preform it, in His time, and in His way.
