Our scripture this morning is Exodus 3:10 (NET).
“So now go, and I will send you to Pharaoh to bring my people, the Israelites, out of Egypt.”
The story of Moses in Exodus proceeds swiftly from his birth, rescue from the Nile and being raised in Pharaoh’s palace. While he was born a Hebrew, he grew up as an Egyptian. Now God calls him from the burning bush to be the deliverer of Israel. While God had put Moses in between these two cultures, he was viewed with hatred by Pharaoh and mistrust by his own people. It was a difficult task, one Moses tries to avoid, but God answers every concern, and Moses goes with God’s promise to be with him. We have the same promise from Him in everything we face. Our God is always there for us.
Eternal God, we are sorry for the times we try to refuse the tough things You have for us. Bless us to be strong in faith, sharing Your goodness and the blessing of salvation with the world. Amen.
