God told Moses that he would now see what God would do to Pharaoh. It's interesting that, even though God was telling Moses what would happen, there were expected "road blocks" in the way, where Pharaoh's heart would be hardened and it would take ten plagues to get him to relinquish control over the Israelites and let them go.
I'm sure there are plenty of times in our life where God makes a way for us and we may feel like it's an "instant deliverance," but it actually takes days, weeks, months, or years to happen. What if our answer to prayer took decades? Could we handle that? That's a tough one -- especially with our mentality. We've seen so much progress in the last 50-60 years that a year seems like a long, long time. We're an impatient generation -- all of us. I know I am.
There are seven days, zero hours, forty-eight minutes and 22 seconds left 'til deadline.

Did you title this entry with Bob Marley because of Exodus being his sixth (?) studio album or because it's his 26th obit today? If because of the former that would be really weird, but I guess you know about his death date. It's so cool to know that Bob found Jesus before he died!
