Listen "The Place of Pain"
Episode Synopsis
God called Moses to perform a task, then He made it impossible for Moses to succeed.
Moses cried out, “I can’t do this myself.” He was stuck between the absolute awareness of God’s calling and utter impossibility of its fulfillment.
That’s a rough place to be. It’s the place of pain, hopelessness, despair. It’s worse than death. In fact, some reasonable people might opt, as Moses wished, to die rather than to suffer more pain. Unfortunately, God’s plan of redemptive suffering does not include an ‘easy way out.’ Moses was stuck. He felt betrayed by the very God he was called to trust.
