Exodus 5:22, 23 And Moses returned unto the Lord, and said, Lord, wherefore hast thou so evil entreated this people? why is it that thou hast sent me?
After Moses asked Pharaoh to let Israel go, Pharaoh responded by laying heavier burdens on them by demanding the same quota of bricks but making them gather the straw themselves. The people responded by complaining to Moses and blaming him for making them work harder, because Moses asked for exodus.
Moses responded by turning to the Lord (which was good) and questioning Him and blaming Him for evil (which was not good). Moses asked the Lord the same age-old question that every human asks: WHY? Why are bad things happening to us? Why did you involve me? It’s not fair! Where is Your presence and promised help? How long, O Lord? Why me? We don’t deserve this! And so on.
On the surface, to our impoverished minds and limited vision, why seems like a good and reasonable question. But in reality, it is a questioning and blaming of God that reveals pride and unbelief. We can’t deeply believe God is good all the time. We are too proud to admit that evil is my fault, that I am the sinner. Like Moses, like Adam, and like Job, every person tends to blame God when bad things happen and to take credit when good things happen.
Faith is the gift of God that knows: God is good, He knows what He is doing, He works all things together for good, and His timing is always right. Such faith is not possible for us; thus God must gift it through the Gospel. Because of Sin, we will experience pain and suffering, trial and tribulation, before seeing salvation and deliverance, glory and victory. Jesus did. For us. We will.
