God is the Hero of the story. We often have a problem with that.

“Let my people go!” My impression of Moses—no doubt shaped by movies and books—is one of boldness and confidence. But this is the same Moses who said, “Pardon your servant, Lord. Please send someone else” (Exodus 4:13). What Moses accomplished was not done in his own strength. Modern storytellers often fictionalize the story, downplaying or omitting God’s involvement. I want to be more careful: to see God’s work done through the weak things, the foolish things, and the humble things.
