Bold Statements

Then Moses went back to the Lord and protested, “Why have you brought all this trouble on your own people, Lord?  Why did you send me?  Ever since I came to Pharaoh as your spokesman, he has been even more brutal to your people.  And you have done nothing to rescue them!” [Exodus 5.22, 23]

Whoa!  Moses!  Talk about slamming God!  Moses was laying it out there.  These are some pretty bold statements made by Moses...

Does Moses' relationship to God give us any indication of what our relationship to God could possibly look like?  The fact is, Moses spoke to God face to face and it wasn't all just praises either!  Imagine that...

Father, I want to be close enough to You to speak frankly.  I don't want to come to You as a stranger, but as an intimate friend (made possible by Jesus).  Help me to consider my relationship to You and do my part to strengthen it.
