final part of a message called How to Trust God when you don't like the changes in your life.

In the Bible, what separated Moses, one of the greatest leaders of all time, from the people of Israel,

is what I'm talking about here. The people had knowledge. Moses had perspective. The people could

see what was going on. Moses knew why it was going on. During the Exodus, everybody could see the current events. They saw Moses do the

ten plagues in Egypt, and the Nile turns to blood and all the other plagues. They saw the

Red Sea open. When they got out there in the desert and there was no water, they saw God bring

a fountain of water out of a rock. Miracle after

miracle. They saw the acts of God. They saw the deeds of God. They saw what was happening in

current events. But only Moses understood God's reasons and his perspectives and his ways. Psalm 103, the next verse.

Psalm 103, verse 7 on your outline, God let the people of Israel see his mighty actions,

but he revealed his ways to Moses. Now, why am I teaching us to you? Because friends, as your pastor,

who loves you, I want you to be better than everybody else. I want you to not just know

what's going on in the world. I want you to understand just know what's going on in the world.

I want you to understand the ways of God.
