"Now therefore, go, and I will be with your mouth and teach you what you shall say.
But he said, "O my Lord, please send by the hand of whomever else You may send."
So the anger of the Lord was kindled against Moses, and He said: "Is not Aaron the Levite your brother? I know that he can speak well. And look, he is also coming out to meet you. When he sees you, he will be glad in his heart."
Exodus 4:12-14 (NKJV)
People can disagree for various reasons, but if you disagree with someone, it should not be just to disagree, but because you know something that is true that the other person does not know. For example, I do not know very much about how to repair a car, but I have two brothers who know a lot about cars and how to fix them. It would be strange for me to try and tell my two brothers what they should do to repair a car, or disagree with them about some car repair issue, since I know almost nothing about that.
Throughout the Bible, we see God calling people to do things for Him. God always has a plan about what to do, and God works through people in the earth to do things. But, one thing we know for certain is that God knows what He is doing. God is not randomly choosing people to do things for no reason, God knows exactly what He is doing, and He knows the best way to get things done. God understands every situation better than we do and He knows what is needed in every situation.
In Exodus 3-4, God spoke to Moses to go to Egypt and deliver Israel from their bondage. But rather than just agreeing with God and doing what God said, Moses disagreed with God, more than once, and Moses tried to convince God to send someone else to do the work; this was displeasing to God. Moses was trying to tell God that God's plan was not going to work, but God knows what He is doing better than any of us! With God's help, we can do anything He leads us to do. We need to realize that God knows what He is doing, and just agree with God and do what He is telling us to do.
