Key Verse: 3:8
First, God acts in the right time (2:23-3:6). God's people were groaning for a long time. They felt forsaken, but God heard their cries and remembered his promises. He was determined to act, but he was waiting until Moses' preparation was complete. In the meantime, there were hundreds of servants of God teaching and praying, waiting for God's deliverance. They were working in unison with the Lord to save the people.
Second, God had a plan that we could never conceive (7-12). The Lord set out to deliver in a way that we would not expect. He did something even more powerful than sending a liberating army. God called Moses and gave him a mission, essentially saying, "Go, I am sending you. Bring my people out." (10) God's way is the most effective and fruitful way.
Prayer: Lord, thank you for carrying out your plan of salvation. It is glorious and effective and we trust in you.
One Word: Thank you for calling us to be your servants in your wondrous plan
