God's character is revealed in the burning bush as a miracle working God, One who does things out of the ordinary. He is holy and set apart. And yet, He calls us to Him to work for Him and be used by Him.
Moses' reluctance to serve God was not good. He was more focused on himself than God. However, he was admitting his inability - he should have done this whilst recognising his need for God's help and work.
The Israelites' different attitudes was to do with impatience and not trusting God would keep His word, even if it took time to fulfil. Moses' response was to turn back to God in prayer. He was in a helpless and hopeless situation without God. God's answer was to assure Moses of His promises and to remind Moses who He was. God is fully faithful and reliable in keeping His promises.
God allowed Moses to have to wait to see how futile he was in himself, but to realise how God could do the impossible. The people's impatience meant Moses had to depend on God.
Pharaoh did not know God and responded accordingly. He thought his people could do as much and showed it, but in doing so did not recognise God for who He is. Today, people have no time for Gid and show it in multiple ways - God's responses is the same - see who I AM!
