Ridiculously faithful

So Exodus 6 and 7 once again sees ridiculous faithfulness.  Moses is asked by God to talk to Pharoah in order that he might release the Israelites from slavery.  Despite Moses' ineloquent speech, his age and the fact that Pharoah's heart is hardened, Moses still obeys God and goes to talk to Pharoah, not once but several times until something is done.
Moses could have laughed in God's face and refused to obey.  He could have used his old age as an excuse to not do what God wanted.  He could have got scared and run away.  He could have looked at the extent of the situation and thought - 'no chance, this won't do any good'.  He could have even looked at Pharoah and thought him too big and powerful.  He even tried to use his poor speech as an excuse (excellent how God does't just call, He equips, seen through the use of Aaron as the spokesman).  But no, eventually he 'did just as the Lord commanded' (Ex7v6).  Beautiful.

What would have happened if Moses hadn't have spoken to Pharoah and obeyed God?  Would the Israelites still have been in slavery?  What would have happened to God's promise?  Would it have been delayed? 

Right now I'm faced with a difficult situation.  Do I do the right thing, even though it seems ridiculous, or do I go with what I want, love, hope for, long for and have been fighting for most of my life even though it is wrong?  Decisions, decisions.  What about you?  Is God telling you to do something that is seemingly ridiculous?  Do you need ridiculous faith right now? Whatever the circumstances or situation, let's be a people who obey God against all the odds, who follow God's lead, who trust in Him, who believe that He knows best.  Even when it is ridiculous.  I mean let's face it.  God is ridiculously faithful to us!
