Moses doesn't come across as the bravest figure, willing to run headlong into conflict, does he? Moses is struggling to find any possible way out here. Moses seems to think that God doesn't have a backup argument... as though God would just admit defeat and move on to Plan B! Maybe that happened with someone else and it didn't get recorded -- maybe Moses is the plan B. I've never thought of that before.
I've said it hundreds of times before, but I love how human the Bible is. There's room for us in here. Do you have doubts? Do you have questions about God? Ask God. God's not afraid. God's not going to walk away. The God who created the sea and sky and redeems you out of death's strong grip isn't going to turn tail because you aren't sure exactly what God is doing for you or because you don't know if you're ready for it. God wants you to succeed -- we forget that sometime, probably because we face so much opposition elsewhere in life. God wants the best for you, and will pay any price to bring that into our lives for all eternity.
