Faith is tough. Faith requires us to believe God and trust in Him before we see the results. God always gives us enough reason to place our faith in Him, but wants us to have the “assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen” (Heb. 11:1).
Moses met God in a burning bush in the wilderness. God came and commissioned him to deliver His people:

Exodus 3:10–12 (ESV)
Come, I will send you to Pharaoh that you may bring my people, the children of Israel, out of Egypt.” 11But Moses said to God, “Who am I that I should go to Pharaoh and bring the children of Israel out of Egypt?” 12He said, “But I will be with you, and this shall be the sign for you, that I have sent you: when you have brought the people out of Egypt, you shall serve God on this mountain.”

In verse 11 Moses makes his first of many excuses of why God should choose someone else: Who am I? Interestingly, God promises him a sign so that he would know that God had sent him. I had never noticed this before, but Moses wouldn’t actually see the sign until he already had led the people out of Egypt. He would have to have the faith to trust in God through the trial before receiving the sign that God had sent him. Later, he was able to finally see the sign as a reward because he trusted in God and acted in faith.

We often want God to send us a sign before making difficult faith decisions. Sometimes God does and sometimes He waits until afterwards. He always gives us enough reason to place our trust in Him. The question is, are we willing to walk by faith before receiving the sign or are we unwilling? What has God called you to? What does He want from you? You might get the sign before the journey begins. You might get it afterwards. You might not get it until heaven. Remember, faith is hard, but God is faithful.
