S – So Moses went back to the Lord and asked, “Lord, why have you caused trouble for this people? And why did you ever send me? ²³ Ever since I went in to Pharaoh to speak in your name he has caused trouble for this people, and you haven’t rescued your people at all.” 

Exodus 5:22–23 CSB

O – Commentary:  The phrase brought all this trouble could be translated even more strongly as done all this evil. Is God really good or not? Instead of rescuing the people out of their evil circumstances as he had promised, it seems that God had only made the situation worse. Is he faithful or not? Is he powerful or not?

* God isn’t rescuing the Israelites like He promised and Moses wants to know why.

A – We have all been there.  We have a promise from God and it isn’t happening.  We ask God why and why me?  Moses was eventually known as “the man who walked with God.”  Before that, Moses struggled and had doubts like the rest of us.  Yet, his faith grew…like the rest of us.  We need to keep growing in our faith and relationship with God.

R – Lord, even when I don’t see it you are working for my good.  Help me not to question you or your results.  Help my faith and trust to grow in you today.  Help me to move through the “why’s” and into the “Here I am.”  Give me the strength, wisdom and courage to do this today.
