You Need an Exodus

 Read Exodus 3-4
 
Exodus 4:29-31 Moses and Aaron brought together all the elders of the Israelites, 30 and Aaron told them everything the LORD had said to Moses. He also performed the signs before the people, 31 and they believed. And when they heard that the LORD was concerned about them and had seen their misery, they bowed down and worshiped.
 
THE process of Israel’s exodus from slavery into God’s rule begins. Through the exodus, God introduces himself very personally to his people through Moses’ and Aaron’s Spirit-empowered words and works. The Hebrews knew of the God of Abraham, and they knew the God-empowered lives of Isaac, Jacob and Joseph, but they did not know God personally. They had no personal relationship with him. In all probability, he seemed a distant God, silent to their needs.
    Another way to say this is, “Israel heard of God. but Israel had not heard God.” Now the “I AM” – the self-existent, eternal Creator of the world – begins to introduce himself. See his power to change nature and reshape human nature to cause and secure their freedom.
    Think about this: Your life needs an exodus, too. Each one of us is born knowing bondage and not knowing God. To free us, God comes in his creative, eternal power to say, “I have come that you may have life and have it to the full.” (John 10:10) He wants you to hear him clearly and faithfully. It is a universe-changing, heaven-celebrated event when your sin’s chains crumble, you exit from God’s silence and enter your new life to claim Jesus as your Lord and Savior.
   
Give Thanks. The Lord leads you to himself.
