"Wherefore say unto the children of Israel, I am the Lord, and I will bring you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians, and I will rid you out of their bondage, and I will redeem you with a stretched out arm, and with great judgments:
And I will take you to me for a people, and I will be to you a God: and ye shall know that I am the Lord your God, which bringeth you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians.
And I will bring you in unto the land, concerning the which I did swear to give it to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob; and I will give it you for an heritage: I am the Lord."
- Exodus 6:6-9
Dear Friends,
In Exodus the sixth chapter God is reminding Israel of His promise to deliver them, redeem them and take care of them. God provided leadership for the children of Israel to bring them out of captivity.
God is changeless. He still leads His children out of bondage. He provided the Redeemer in the Person of Jesus Christ. In Christ Jesus we have the Perfect Leader.
One of the songs of the church instructs us:
"Let Jesus lead you. Let Jesus lead you. Let Jesus lead you, all the way. All the way from earth to heaven, let Jesus lead you all the way."
In the midst of turmoil and uncertainty among nations there remains a hope for the people of God. Before governments were set up or earthly kingdoms established, there was, is and always shall be, the Righteous Ruler, Father God.
The book of Exodus details a mass departure of a people enslaved to a place of freedom. God is still calling for those who would depart from sin, take Him at His word and lean on His promises for rescue, provision and power.
Cast your cares on Jesus. Jesus Christ the same yesterday, today and forever.
Exodus 6:6-8 reminds us of great promise. Hear the Word of the Lord:
- I am the Lord
- I will bring you out
- I will rid you out of their bondage
- I will redeem you
- I will take you to me for a people
- I will be to you a God
- I am the Lord your God
- I will bring you in unto the land
- I will give it you for an heritage
- I am the Lord
In Christ,
Sis. Stephanie
