Moses, reluctantly, decided to follow God’s Instructions. Every felt like that? God tells you to do something and you really don’t want to. I know that I felt that way often growing up when my parents told me to do stuff. Often I didn’t want to, but equally more often, I did it anyway. Most of the time, it was ultimately rewarding. Other times, not so much. Moses had tried and tried to get out of going back to Egypt.

How easy is it to overthink things? When a situation in your life comes up that is kind of out of the box, it’s so easy to think what if . . . I fail . . . I cause more problems than I fix . . . I can’t make people understand what I’m trying to do. I know I do. When I look at the test results before I speak to the doctor, my mind runs all over the place. Is it cancer? Is it something else? What happens now? What am I going to do if . . .? My brain is a very imaginative place. I can think of a million scenarios, most of them bad. So, here is Moses. He is overthinking. In doing so, he doesn’t take into account that God is in control. When God tells you that you are to do a particular thing, we need to remember that we will not be alone. God is there. He will provide all that we need.
