Exodus 5-8

From whom do we seek affirmation? I have the tendency to look to those with whom I work for feedback on myself. It was the same with the Israeli slaves. They sought to please their task masters. It was those people whom the Israelites believed had control of their lives. Is that why I seek affirmation at work? The story related in chapters 5-7 show the struggle between seeking affirmation from people or from God. Finally, 7:6, Moses chooses God. In spite of all appearances of failure Moses bought into God's plan. And he began to see the power of God displayed in ways never seen before.
