EXodus
The life we live in Jesus Christ is filled with much joy and much pain. Times when things go as we planned and many times when they do not. One this is for sure God’s people can confidently say they are exactly where God wants them to be. He is working in it all.

Jesus defended the reality of the resurrection against those who would question it in Matthew 22:31-33. He says, “He is not God of the dead, but of the living.” The God we worship is the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. He is the God of Peter, James, John, the one who sent His only Son, Jesus Christ, our Savior, to redeem and rescue sinful men and women from an eternity in hell. In Exodus chapter 3 it is this same God who is now speaking to Moses. “God of your father” is a phrase dripping with deeper meaning. First of all, just because this is the first time God uses the name “I AM” to describe Himself it doesn’t mean that He was not known previously. Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph and others knew Him all the same, indeed God is their God in the same capacity as He is ours today. Secondly, our God is eternal, though we will all die, and our fathers have all died before us, our God lives and will live on forever. Our God remains and currently orders all things ensuring they all occur according to His will and plan for our lives. Finally, we can assume our God is still currently working in the same way that he was working in the days of the fathers. He is the unmatched, immovable, perfectly holy, and sovereign God who right now is working in conjunction with His previous and future work to redeem for Himself a people who bring Him glory for all eternity. Let us all praise His holy Name.

How amazing, Egypt, the place once of prosperity, salvation, preservation, and immense growth for God’s people has now become the place of slavery, bondage, brutality, and burden. As I understand and read through the Old Testament it is obvious to me that this same thing happens to God’s people multiple times in different lands and at different times. The place of settling, of prosperity, of genuine goodness can quickly become the place of great opposition. When this happens, God works to move His people to different places throughout the world. What are we to make of this reality? Who would want to ever be called one of God’s people if it means this kind of uncertainty and instability? If we look deeper into the text, the absolute answer to these questions of doubt above is this, anyone and everyone who is wise and understanding! In the midst of these very real challenges there is one truth that makes an eternal difference providing all the life, stability, and, and blessing we could ever need, “God saw the people of Israel and God knew”. No matter where we go or what is going on God sees us, knows us, and is with us. Put your total trust in Him today Christian brother and sister.
