Exodus 4:27-31 Aaron, Anxiety and Pain!

27Meanwhile, the LORD had said to Aaron, “Go and meet Moses in the wilderness.” So he went and met Moses at the mountain of God and kissed him. 28And Moses told Aaron everything the LORD had sent him to say, and all the signs He had commanded him to perform.
29Then Moses and Aaron went and assembled all the elders of the Israelites, 30and Aaron relayed everything that the LORD had said to Moses.
And Moses performed the signs before the people, 31and they believed. And when they heard that the LORD had attended to the Israelites and had seen their affliction, they bowed down and worshiped.

I don’t know why but every time I read about Moses and signs I think of that stupid song by Five Man Electrical Band, “Signs”.
Sign, sign, everywhere a sign....LOL

“Aaron, who came to meet Moses, could speak well; but he was a weak man, whose alliance with Moses caused his nobler younger brother much anxiety and pain.” (Meyer)

13But Moses replied, “Please, Lord, send someone else.”
14Then the LORD’s anger burned against Moses, and He said, “Is not Aaron the Levite your brother? I know that he can speak well,...
The Bible doesn’t say this but maybe the Lord gave Aaron to Moses for two reasons,
he (Aaron) speaks well and he would be a source of much anxiety and pain!

Be careful of what you wish for!
I recall praying and asking the Lord for patience..... Can you guess what happened?

Blessings, David
