And
God spoke to Moses and said to him: “I am the Lord. I appeared to Abraham, to
Isaac, and to Jacob, as God Almighty, but by My name Lord I was not known to
them. I have also established My covenant with them, to give them the land of
Canaan, the land of their pilgrimage, in which they were strangers. And I have
also heard the groaning of the children of Israel whom the Egyptians keep in
bondage, and I have remembered My covenant.
Then
the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, and gave them a command for the children of
Israel and for Pharaoh king of Egypt, to bring the children of Israel out of
the land of Egypt.
Therefore
say to the children of Israel: I am the Lord; I will bring you out from under
the burdens of the Egyptians, I will rescue you from their bondage, and I will
redeem you with an outstretched arm and with great judgments. I will take you
as My people, and I will be your God. Then you shall know that I am the Lord
your God who brings you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians. And I will
bring you into the land which I swore to give to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; and
I will give it to you as a heritage: I am the Lord.’ ”
Then
the Lord said to Moses, “Now you shall see what I will do to Pharaoh. For with
a strong hand he will let them go, and with a strong hand he will drive them
out of his land.”
Our Father was moved by the
cry of the people and moved to act because of the covenant He with them through
their father Abraham.
Our Father is a covenanting
God, He is bound and pledged to respond to covenant.
We as Christ-Followers are
bound and pledged by covenant with the Father through His Son.
We have the privilege to cry
to Him about all concerning our lives because of the covenant.
We are also bound to carry His
gospel and bring the Light of the world to all because of that covenant.
