We see a real crisis of faith here. Moses was told by God to do something but when he did, Pharaoh gets even more brutal. Moses then doesn't question his calling, rather he questions God's methods. Not a great idea really. Moses one downfall later on is his misrepresenting God in front of the people, something that costs him the promised land. God gives him a very gentlemanly rebuke while reminding Moses of who He is (as if He really needs to). Even if things seem to go badly, we can always rely on our knowledge of God to know that it is a means to an end.
I got delayed at an airport for hours once waiting for a visa and could have easily felt inconvenienced. As it happened, the friendships I made with some of the border guards proved invaluable later when I departed having lost my immigration card and being very late due to slow customs officials - God knows what He is doing. Say it with me, "God knows what He's doing"
