There are times when we would have done something believing it to be God's will and face negative outcomes instead of positive results. Those times we may even wonder why did we have to face such negative results in spite of doing God's will.
God asks Moses to go to Pharaoh and instruct him to let the people of Israel go. But when Pharaoh hears this for the first time, he gets very angry and imposes more burden on the tasks that people of Israel do. When Moses hears this news, he implores with the Lord his burdened heart.
Exodus 5:22-23 (New International Version)
Moses returned to the LORD and said, "O Lord, why have you brought trouble upon this people? Is this why you sent me? 23 Ever since I went to Pharaoh to speak in your name, he has brought trouble upon this people, and you have not rescued your people at all."
Thinking in human ways Moses expected that doing God's will would yield positive outcome. He was not able to see that God has His own way of fulfilling His plan. It look a long time for Moses to understand that the plans and purposes of God cannot be thwarted.
So it is in our case many times. We do not understand that God has His own way of fulfilling His promises in our lives. And He does that in His own terms and ways and not ours...
