Moses is tasked to lead the Israelis from Egypt. But several barriers stand in the way. First, the people are not willing to listen to him. Second, Pharaoh is unwilling to let the people leave. Is this a problem? Not to God! The increased labor and insistence of Pharaoh all play a part in God's design. He was making Egypt unpalatable for the Israelis and was about to make the Israeli presence unpalatable for Pharaoh. Throughout these chapters, one sees God at work behind the scenes as these folks make their own choices that lead ultimately to the fulfillment of God's intention for each one.
Moses loves to make excuses. He is not eloquent, he is not a leader, he is not prepared. to each of these, God answers "I am God". What excuse are you giving for not following or obeying God. The problem is not who you are; the problem is that you don't understand who God is!
