Exodus 2:10

Exodus is one of my favorite books in the Bible. I see God’s strength and power. I see Him as He is. God Almighty! The Great I AM!

Exodus 2:10- So she called his name Moses saying,” Because I drew him out of the water.” Moses means,”to draw out.” Moses was a Hebrew. In Hebrew, Moses means,”He who draws out”.

Eventhough the people rebelled against God after He had delivered them from Egypt, He was still with them. They felt like it would have been better for them to turn and go back to Egypt because they were wondering in the desert for forty years. They felt like Moses had led them there to die in the desert. What they didn’t realize is that God was their deliverer and their provider. They didn’t realize that for all of those years God was taking care of them; just like He takes care of us today. He supplies all of our needs according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus our Lord and Savior.

Had they realized that, they would not have been complaining about what they didn’t have, and been thankful for what they did have. They had God with them but their hearts were so hard that they didn’t know how to be thankful. We now today in this world can sometimes be that way when we take our eyes and hearts off of the one who created all things. We need to understand and realize that the same God that delivered the Israelites from their bondage will still deliver us from whatever we are going through. He’s our ever present help. He will never leave us nor forsake us.

Sometimes life can make a person feel like they’re in Egypt. We feel like there is no relief from the hurt and pain that we go through. We often question God about all of the things that we go through being His children. We ask God if He’s ever going to make things right when we’ve been wronged by someone we love, by a boss, or even a friend? We ask God when will He do lots of things for us. We must first pray about whatever, or whomever is causing the problem. We must then believe that God hears us, and we must leave it, not pick it back up. God’s time is different from our time. God does things when the time is right, not when we want Him to. We want things answered right then, but God knows best.

God may not give us everything that we want, but He provides for us everything that we need to survive! Such as food, clothing, water, and shelter. He knows all of our hearts desires. He knows every hair on our head. When we complain about the things that we don’t have, we complain against God. It is not right for us to do those things, because it is a sin against God. Everytime we complain about something for whatever reason, God hears it, even our every thought. There’s nothing that’s to big or to small for God. He delivered the Israelites from their bondage from Egypt with His outstretched arm, and with a mighty hand. He defeated their enemies by drowning them in the Red Sea. The Israelites walked through the Red Sea on dry ground and not one person, or animal was left behind.

God is our vendicator. He’ll go through everything with us, no matter what it is. He didn’t leave them in the desert alone, and He will not leave us alone. There are times when we may feel that His presence is not with us, there may be times when we feel He’s not listening to our prayers, there are times when it seems like there is just no answer to anything; but what we need to know is that He’s just giving us a little more time to pray. He wants us to be still and know that He is God alone.
