There is only so much we can control. I feel like we need to remind ourselves of that every day -- we like to be in control, and it's easy to make an idol out of it. Moses could've spent so much time trying to figure out exactly what the Egyptians might respond to that he never would have actually executed the plan. Instead, God was laying out a path for Moses to step into trusting God. Moses was afraid and filled with doubt, but God showed how God would continue to work and open the eyes of others. It was outside of Moses' control, though -- Moses was going to have to trust God to move in the hearts and minds of others.
We need to do the same. The actions of others are often beyond our control. We need to trust God with this step, and the next step, and God will take care of the ones after that as well.
