**Man’s actions however cannot change what God has ordained no matter how hard man tries.**

Say what?

Moses in answering God's call gave many, many, many reasons that he should not be the messenger to the Israelites as well as to Pharoah. (Man's actions)

But finally the Bible tells us that God became angry with him.

God had been patient and reassuring telling Moses that He would be with him, that Aaron would be the spokesman, that he could use his staff, hand and water as signs -- yet when the man's actions -- Moses' final excuse -- God became angry.

Just doesn't ring true with your statement above. (Exodus 1-6)

God was mad at Moses for not trusting him and gave him Aaron to be the spokesperson. A mistake I'm sure Moses regretted many times over for Aaron caused a lot of headaches down the road for him.

God became angry with Moses because he disobeyed God's command to circumcise his sons to the point where God was going to kill Moses. God does not tolerate disobedience from anyone. God's plan was to bring the Israel out of Egypt. That does not mean He ordained that it would be through Moses although that is how it all worked out.
