Sometimes, it is difficult to understand the reality that God has promised to us: freedom, joy, and restoration. And yet, many times, the road to those things zig-and-zag through a lot of pain. Here in this moment, God allows more pain and suffering for His people, before He will fully step in to free them. At the end of the chapter Moses leaves us with a question that is still asked by us today, in 2024: “Why?”

Do we always respond to the call of God with joy and confidence? Probably not. Moses sure didn’t. Even after God displays to him His miraculous power, he still doubts if he can be used by God. Rather than focusing on who He is, we set our focus on where we fall short. This chapter is a reminder that even though we do have weakness, at the end of day, when the power of God is involved, what others will see is not our weaknesses, but His glorious power!

Exodus 3 is one of the significant pivot points in our Scriptures. As Moses is in exile in the wilderness, God speaks to him through a burning bush. Their conversation set forth a trajectory for the people of God that is still felt today.

Sometimes due to our own decisions or the mere circumstances of life expose our deepest weaknesses. Like Moses, we are forced to flee into the wilderness where we are left searching for hope and meaning in life. All throughout the Bible the wilderness is a place of refining.

The people of God face horrible tragedy as the king of Egypt decrees that every newborn male be killed. In this text we see God’s provision and care as he begins to unfold his plan to bring His people to freedom. In our lives today we can hold onto the provision and care of God when we face grave darkness. Life can be very cruel sometimes, and though God does not always spare us from that cruelty we can hold onto the promise that God is with us and leading us to something better.
