We’ve all witnessed great moments when people are encouraged and motivated to attempt great things. It happens each spring at college commencement times when graduates step forward into the future they’ve prepared for! It happens at weddings when couples ride off into the sunset with great expectations of married life. It’s starting a new business or accepting a new job or finding a new purpose in life.
Yesterday I left you with Moses and nearly 1 million Israelites at Mount Sinai as they had recently been rescued by God from generations of slavery in Egypt. You’ll remember I showed you yesterday that in Genesis 15:13,14 God had predicted that His Covenant People would live 400 years in a land not their own and experience bitter slavery there! But God also predicted He would rescue His people and bring them out of slavery and into the Covenant Land again.
