“While Moses had his frustrations, and perhaps some doubts, throughout his interactions with Pharaoh, Moses continued to believe and obey God despite what seemed like a series of triumphs on Pharaoh’s part. Moses trusted in the veracity of God’s words and he acted upon them. He not only believed God’s words at a cognitive level, he also believed them at the volitional level. He heard God’s word and he did God’s word.”
