In Exodus 3:10-4:17, God introduced Himself with His sovereign name and revealed His purpose for Moses - to deliver the people of Israel from Pharaoh's hand. Moses' objections show us this was not in his five-year plan!
Moses has finally settled down with a wife and children, a new extended family, and a job—shepherd of Jethro’s flock. But God has another plan for Moses—Moses is going to deliver God’s people from the hand of Pharaoh and lead them through the wilderness to the Promised Land. He just doesn’t know it yet.
Moses will be the rescuer God chooses, and His vessel of salvation for the Israelites. It is striking that the first major event in Moses’ life is an act of despicable sin. Nevertheless, God uses Moses to bring about the deliverance of His people. This is a stark reminder that God uses even the most shameful events in human history to bring about His good purpose.
In chapter two, we zoom in to see how the crisis of the Israelites affects the family of Moses. We can imagine that Moses, the author of Exodus, heard this story more than once from the mouths of the three women involved in his rescue from Pharaoh’s murderous edict. Let’s meet these women, each one an instrument of God’s providence.
Exodus introduction and chapter 1. God's promises are everlasting. If God did not keep His promises, He could not be trusted and could not be God.
