2 Corinthians 4:10

8 We are ^ahard-pressed on every side, yet not crushed; we are perplexed, but not in despair;

9 persecuted, but not ^aforsaken; ^bstruck down, but not destroyed—

10 ^aalways carrying about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, ^bthat the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our body.

11 For we who live ^aare always delivered to death for Jesus’ sake, that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our mortal flesh.

12 So then death is working in us, but life in you.

II Corinthians 4:8-10

Was the life of God manifested in what Moses was doing? You had better believe it was!

All of us have similar experiences and go through difficult trials. That is what he is talking about there—being hard pressed, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair. Everybody with whom God is working is going to be going through those things. Like Moses, we see problems that need to be resolved. He knew that Israel had to be freed, and he tried to resolve it.

We find ourselves, then, in afflictions, in persecution, in perplexity. At times, we do not understand. Like Moses, we find ourselves in solitude, alone—even in a family.
