When Moses obeyed God by confronting Pharaoh, the Israelites’ situation worsened as their workload increased and conditions deteriorated. Despite initial setbacks, God revealed His unchanging character and sovereign power through this challenge. He demonstrated that temporary hardship often precedes divine deliverance, teaching valuable lessons about trusting His promises even when circumstances suggest otherwise. This narrative reminds us that difficulties following obedience can be part of God’s greater plan for displaying His glory and strengthening our faith.
