[[-SOAP HUB]] | [[-Exodus Overview]] | [[Exodus 03]] ## Title: God is With Us Even Before the Danger Comes ## Scripture: (Exodus 3:19-20) “But I know that the king of Egypt will not let you go, not even under force. So I will extend my hand and strike Egypt with all my wonders that I will do among them, and after that he will release you.” (NET) ## Observation: This is one of the most powerful chapters in the Old Testament. The LORD reveals Himself to Moses and sends Moses on a mission of freedom. One of the most amazing aspects of this story is that God tells Moses in advance that the journey will be difficult. We can sometimes assume that because the Lord is sending us, it will be easy. Surely the Lord will not send us into danger! Not so. Many times, our journey with the Lord will send us straight through difficulty. However, the Lord goes with us and wins the battle before we even arrive. The Lord told Moses that it would be hard, but the Lord will prevail in the end. The same is true for us. Our lives will often be more difficult than we expected, but the Lord always prevails in the end. Our job is to stay faithful, stay close to Him, and take the next step. ## Application: The journey will be hard. Your job is not to figure out the end. Your job is the next step. ## Prayer: Thank You, Jesus, for knowing the end from the beginning.
