In Exodus 5, we see some of our struggles with wrong and unhelpful assumptions when it comes to God’s restorative work. In the responses of Moses and the Israelite foremen to the hardness of Pharaoh’s heart, we saw that we wrongfully assume we will gain earthly comfort, maintain earthly standing, or bear immediate fruit in God’s restoration work. God addresses His people in their struggles in Exodus 6, reminding them of several key truths to move us away from such unhelpful assumptions. From Exodus 6, we see that God reminds us in our sinful struggles of His nature, our identity, and His ultimate work of restoration.
