[[-SOAP HUB]] | [[-Exodus Overview]] | [[Exodus 06]] ## Title: The Battle of Perspective ## Scripture: (Exodus 6:28-30) When the Lord spoke to Moses in the land of Egypt, he said to him, “I am the Lord. Tell Pharaoh king of Egypt all that I am telling you.” But Moses said before the Lord, “Since I speak with difficulty, why should Pharaoh listen to me?” (NET) ## Observation: It would seem that one of the greatest obstacles in the story of Israel’s freedom was Moses getting past his insecurities. He continued to see this battle as a conflict between Pharaoh and himself. In this conflict, it appears as though he assumed he was fighting against Pharaoh all alone. The better perspective was to realize that God was there the whole time. He is never going before Pharaoh alone. Even if Pharaoh said no, that is his problem. Moses is merely the messenger. How many times do we lose perspective in our own lives because we think we have to figure everything out on our own, do everything on our own, and walk through life alone? What would happen if we realized that God is with us in every step, in every conversation, and in control in more ways than we realize? Would it change how we faced every obstacle today? ## Application: Think of God as walking beside you today. Does it change the way you engage with your world? ## Prayer: Thank You, Jesus, for being with us in every moment.
