We are a community of people who walk by faith in the promises of God and we know that God is faithful and keeps His promises. In our passage today we see God promising to deliver Moses and the Hebrews from the hand of Pharaoh. When God called Abraham and made a covenant with him, God told Abraham that his descendants would be slaves in a foreign land for 400 years but after that time God would bring them out of the land with great possessions. God now promises to Moses that this deliverance from slavery is now at hand in fulfillment of this promise to Abraham.
Notice the extent to which God goes here in confirming to Moses that He is the Lord and that He will keep His promise.
I will bring you out
I will rescue you from bondage
I will redeem you
I will take you as my people
I will be your God
I will bring you into the Promised Land
I will give it to you as a heritage
God wants us to understand that God alone is our help and our sole deliverer. Moses believed and had favor with God but when Pharaoh made their difficult situation even worse, Moses complained and questioned God’s strategy but God said, “Now you shall see what I will do to Pharaoh”. God was faithful and delivered Moses and the Hebrews and fulfilled His promise.
We are a people of faith who walk together in community believing that all of the promises of God are fulfilled to us in Jesus Christ (2 Corinthians 1:20). We walk alongside each other and encourage each other during those times when our difficult situations take a turn for the worse. It is during those times that we need each other to remind us that God is faithful and that He keeps his promises.
Prayer: Gracious God, you alone are our rock and our salvation, you alone are our refuge and our hope and our strong deliverer. We place all our trust in you today knowing that you are our God and we are your people.
