Moses continues with his objections. This time he asks what will happen if they don't believe him and say "God did not appear to you". I am sure that this is something most of us have experienced. People will not listen to us, and don't believe that we actually know God.
The Lord answered this by giving Moses a demonstration of power. First he is to throw his rod on to the ground, and it turns into a snake. Then he was told to take it by the tail, a very dangerous thing to do with a snake! It then turns back to being a rod. Next he is to put his hand in his cloak and it becomes leprous. He puts it back, and it is healed.
Moses is to do these signs in the presence of the people, and God even gives him a third sign to do. See how God works here. First He demonstrates His power to Moses in private, then Moses is to demonstrate this in public. God works in our lives to demonstrate the reality and effectiveness of His love. Then we will see this work out in practice in the presence of other people. We should expect God to work through us in public.
