Get the appDeliverance: A Study In ExodusSample
What does it say?
The Lord told Moses, through a burning bush, that he had been chosen to deliver God’s people from Egypt. Moses was to tell Pharaoh to set the people of Israel free.
What does it mean?
Moses had developed humility through his experiences as a shepherd in the wilderness over the last forty years. Moses could not comprehend how God could use him for such an enormous task. The Lord, however, reminds him that it is not because of Moses’ talents, but because of God’s power that success will come. God had chosen to free His people through the person of Moses, and all Moses had to do was to obey in humble service to the God who identifies Himself as “I AM.” Moses would now have to learn complete and utter dependence on the Lord.
How should I respond?
God is still in the business of choosing ordinary people to do extraordinary things. Like Moses, the call from God seldom comes when we’re looking for it but rather as we faithfully complete the regular, mundane, everyday duties of life. What does God want to accomplish through you? How can He use you to bless others? If you knew the big picture, it might be a little scary; but remember, it’s God’s strength and power, not your own. Are you listening for God’s guidance and direction? Walk in humility and obedience to God, depending completely on Him, and you may be surprised at what He can do through you.

About this Plan
The book of Exodus chronicles the Israelites' rescue from Egypt, deliverance from slavery, and establishment of the tabernacle in the wilderness. In Exodus, we see the premier covenantal promise of God is the reality of his presence among His people, leading, guiding, and directing them towards holiness in Him.
