God's direction was to catch the snake by its tail. That sounds like faith on Moses' part to me. He'd know not to do that, wouldn't he?

"slow of speech" Wonder if through all that Pharaoh court training, his teachers always told him he wasn't good. An opportunity to reclaim lost ground?

"Lord's anger burned" How many times have I looked at earthly problems and told the God of the universe, "No, I'm going on what I've seen so far." It certainly takes faith to try to trust this God we can't see rather than all the hurts we've experienced so far.

Good that God told Moses that he wouldn't be an instant success so his little faith was not shot. As he worked through the task, his confidenc grew.

Don't get the circumcise stuff. God went to the trouble of calling Moses and then he was about to kill him? He and his wife must have knows about the circumcision stuff? Moses would be killed because his son wasn't circumcised? I can see the parallel to moving the ark back home..."thanks for your worship but don't touch that ark" Points to the holiness requirement of God. Patient for a lot of stuff, but there is a line to not cross.

Another "Ugh" moment. Reminder that lots of times, before we get what God has promised, it gets worse instead of better.

"Greatest in the kingdom" No joke! Ah, to have the faith of a safe, loved child! Father, help me to make the change to become like a little child in the arena of faith!

"Things that cause to stumble" => "they must come"

Well, I sure do feel a sadness that Jim does not seem intoxicated by my love. Emptiness
