GOD 'S MIRACULOUS CALL

EXODUS 4:1-5, 10-17

 

Key Concept:

When God calls, He equips His people for service.

Through God's sovereign and gracious provision, Jacob's family relocated to Egypt to escape death by famine. With Joseph stationed as a high-ranking official in Egypt, the Hebrews enjoyed freedom and flourished in the region of Goshen. As time passed by after Joseph's death, the Hebrews faced great oppression at the hands of the Egyptians. God heard their cries, remembered His covenant, and called forth a deliverer - Moses - to rescue the Hebrews from slavery. Miraculously saved from death as a baby, Moses grew up in the Egyptian court. Later, reluctant to take on Pharoah, Moses initially demonstrated resistance to God's call.

As you examine Exodus 4:1-5, 10-17:

✞   Contemplate the fact God called Moses despite his excuses and insecurities.

     

✞   Identify ways God promised to equip Moses through His presence, power, and provision.
