Key Verse: Exodus 6:6
First, God is almighty. He can accomplish what he promises (5:22-6:8). Moses' efforts to help seemed to bring more suffering. He sought understanding. God revealed that he was ready, willing and able to deliver his people. God had a plan and was going to do it in his time and in his way. Moses and his people could not see it, but God would deliver them by his mighty hand.
Second, there is a cure for a broken spirit (9-30). The cruel bondage had broken the peoples' spirit (9). Moses was discouraged. He focused on his own weaknesses instead of God and God's almighty power. Moses needed to take his eyes off of the impossibility and commit himself to the task at hand. Moses and Aaron also needed to remember who they were (20). God would be with Moses and Aaron as they stood as his chosen servants to serve a great and glorious purpose.
Prayer: Lord, thank you for being with us. Help me to have faith in your power and find my identity in you.
One Word: God is mighty to deliver. Stand firm in faith
