Moses himself had seen the works of God up close, but even he is in doubt. Sometimes, we need more than seeing to believe.
Before, Moses could not believe God. God told him, "Take that staff you're holding in your hand and throw it on the ground." Moses did, and the staff became a snake. "Now pick up that snake," God told him. Moses obeyed, and the snake once again was a staff. "Hold on to that staff," God said, "you're going to need it again" (Exodus 4:1-17).
Moses and the people he is leading will continue to fluctuate between belief and unbelief, between gratitude and despair. And so do we.
