It’s important to note how easy it was for the Hebrew people to turn in Moses and Aaron. It is also important to note how easy it was for Aaron and Moses to turn on God. In difficult situations, faith is key. Faith is believing that God will do what he says he will do. In this case, as Pharaoh increased the adversity, so too was more faith required. This, however, was not a lesson that needed to be learned in post. Moses had been told by God that a mighty hand would have to be played against the Pharaoh for him to acquiesce. Moses knew, and likely warned the Hebrews of this. Yet, in their fledgling relationship with God, the hey quickly forgot. We, having the benefit of their relationship with him, ought not forget our relationship with him. It so imperative I’ve that we remember who he is, what he commands, and what that means for us. Nonetheless, it is instructive, in that leaders are rarely great men until they can overcome their own insecurities. It is our responsibility to decide to learn from their mistakes rather than continue to make our own. In this strange way, we ought to be thankful that our heroes of faith tread an imperfect path that was easy for us to follow.
