Doubting God's Promises - Voddie Baucham

if you have your Bibles with them to exodus chapter 14 exodus chapter 14 as we now approach the Red Sea and arguably the most renowned miracle in the Bible aside from the resurrection of Jesus Christ there are very few things that are known by more people recognized by more people than the parting of the Red Sea this is probably due in large part to sussel be dimille's treatment in the Ten Commandments and the fact that early on in movie making history people got to have a visual of this event unlike anything that they had experienced before in regard to biblical miracles being accomplished but this ranks up there with with Noah's Flood in terms of the sheer spectacular nature of what happened but many Christians find the miracle accounts in the Bible inaccessible if not unrealistic the thinking goes something like this we don't experience these types of miracles in our own lives therefore we can't relate I don't see forty days and forty nights of global flood in my life so I can't really relate I don't I don't see fire and brimstone coming down as in Sodom and Gomorrah therefore I can't relate I don't I don't see cease partying and therefore I can't really relate so how can I apply something like this to my own experience several things are important to remember here first not even the people in the Bible experienced miracles regularly in fact most of the people you read about in the Bible didn't experience miracles in their lives secondly the miracles in the Bible were spread out over thousands of years which is why most of the people in biblical times never experienced miracles and three the miracles in the Bible are about more than just their immediate impact they each teach us something about God these miracles that we see in the scriptures were purposeful they happened for a reason not just to overcome whatever the immediate obstacle was but in order to communicate something more significant and lasting than that for example how many of us can relate to this story imagine someone telling this story and ask yourself if that someone could possibly be you I became a Christian many years ago and God delivered me from a lifestyle of sin and from a number of particular sins however as I walked away from my sin it would sometimes come back it was as though my sin didn't want me to go at times I even thought it had me I felt like my situation was hopeless like I wasn't really delivered at all I would even ask myself if it was really worth it if I'm honest I sometimes ask myself if God was really there if he was really enough or if I was really saved as again and again and again the sin that I believed that I had overcome would reach out to grab me once again would come to get me once again and as it came for me I found myself at time if I'm really honest even appreciating the fact that my sin was once more coming after me does that sound familiar to anyone folks have you been slaved longer than a month that absolutely sounds familiar to you by the way that's not an individual's story that's Israel's story in Exodus chapter 14 because that's precisely what's happening here they've been delivered and remember the Exodus becomes sort of a symbol of deliverance of God's people from sin and as they've been delivered and they find themselves walking away all of a sudden that which held them captive determines to come after them again and as they look up to see that which held them captive determined to come and take them away again the grumble they murmur they questioned God they questioned their deliverance and even resigned themselves to just lay down and die this is a microcosm of the Christian experience at various times this is a microcosm of our continued struggle with sin this is a microcosm of the battle that we fight on a regular and ongoing basis this is a microcosm of what God is doing as he delivers each and every one of us from our sin and to glory salvation has been achieved and it is being achieved and it is going to be achieved your salvation past tense you you are justified you have been declared righteous your salvation present tense you are being sanctified you are progressively being delivered from sin and that sin is not what to let you go and you do not want to let your sin go which is why we anxiously anticipate that time when we will ultimately and completely be delivered from our sin in glorification when we are finally there and it is finally done and we are no longer subject to these temptations anymore is anybody looking forward to that amen but in the meantime there are those days where we look up and here come the Egyptians and we're not all that certain that we don't want them to get us because we're tired because the struggle is hard because we remember certain things that brought us comfort and deep down in those places that we don't talk about in Sunday school we want that comfort sometimes we want that pleasure sometimes we want that familiarity sometimes it's ironic but you ever wonder I can remember at you know being in college and I remember having to assist certain friends of mine on certain nights when they / - accessory you know they're bowing before the porcelain God as we would put it and they are they're sick as they can be always saying the same thing I'm never going to do this again and you sit there and you go that's funny but I heard you say this just couple weeks ago so it's not just that sometimes we yearn for pleasure but sometimes in a very sick way we yearn for the misery as well you listen to some people as they talk about their sin and what they smile at and laugh at is the misery that it caused though even the misery of it brings them comfort Oh beloved don't you think for a moment that Exodus chapter 14 doesn't apply to you it absolutely does but as it applies to you here's how I want you to understand the application I want you to understand that it gives you a bird's-eye view of what's happening in this process as God is delivering you because when we're experiencing it we're not thinking about this perspective when we're experiencing it all we know is that we are between a rock and a wet place and the Egyptians are bearing down on us and there appears to be nowhere left to go that's all we see that's all Israel could see all Israel could see was where they were all Israel could see was that there was no way out all Israel could see was that it was not possible for them to deliver themselves or for anyone else for that matter to deliver them all they knew was these people who were obviously upset with them who never wanted to let them go in the first place we're finally coming to reclaim what was theirs and there was nothing they could do about it but if they could see this from God's perspective it would look quite different and there was one who could Moses stood there and did not have the same experience that every other Israelite had because Moses had been let in on the divine perspective look at the first four verses and first we see that what was happening was part of a sovereign decree verses one through four then the Lord said to Moses tell the people of Israel to turn back and encamped in front of paw hire off between McDole and the see in the front of Bale's Afon you shall encamped facing it by the sea for Pharaoh will say of the people of Israel they are wandering in the land the wilderness has shut them in and I will harden Pharaoh's heart and he will pursue them and I will get glory over Pharaoh and all his hosts and the Egyptians shall know that I am the Lord and they did so this is part of a sovereign decree again you're standing there and all you see as the Egyptians are coming you don't understand it from God's perspective here's the way we experience the world when something like this happens and it doesn't go according to plan and it looks like things are about to take a turn for the worst your automatic assumption at that moment is God let this one slip by you can't say Amen you ought to say ouch that's your automatic assumption God didn't see this one coming God wasn't prepared for this God wasn't powerful enough to stop this or he just doesn't like me anymore this is the way we interpret reality like this in the moment when you see it coming and it looks like this terror thing is about to befall you however what Moses knew that the rest of Israel didn't was that this was part of a sovereign decree that this was not happening by accident but like everything else in the world it happened because of God's sovereign decree listen to the words that he uses here the definitive nature of God's statements you shall in camp Pharaoh will say I will harden Pharaoh's heart he will pursue them I will get glory over Pharaoh and all his hosts the Egyptians shall know that I am the Lord those are definitive statements in other words God does not come to Moses and say Moses don't panic but I just noticed that Pharaoh and the Egyptians are coming I'm gonna try to work something out you just hold that that is not the way God says this God says to Moses beforehand this is what's going to happen and here's why it's going to happen and here's how it's going to happen he's even specific as to where the specific nature of estate in front of pie higher off between McDole and the sea in front of bells afar you shall in camp facing it this is amazing and I've had the privilege on a number of occasions of standing in different places in Israel where you're able to say x marks the spot and the reason that there are so many places like that in the Land of Israel where you can say x marks the spot it's because of things like this between here and here facing that way and there are a number of those places where you can walk there and you can say here it is right here because you're between this point and that point and you're facing that way x marks the spot here's where it happened the Bible is clear like that God is clear like that what are the implications of this folks the God who delivers us is in control of every detail Amen hallelujah praise the Lord the God who delivers us is in control of every decamp detail secondly there's nothing that sake and Satan can do to thwart his plan that's the other thing we need to keep in mind God is in control of every detail there's nothing Satan can do this word is plan by the way it's hard when the Egyptians are bearing down on you and you're between again the Egyptians and the sea with nowhere to run it's hard to remember these things which is why you need to remember them now amen we need to rehearse them over and over and over again so that when the Egyptians bear down the answer is already clear job 42 - I know that you can do all things and that no purpose of yours can be thwarted you need to know that Saints know purpose of gods can be thwarted Satan cannot fort the decrees of God Satan cannot fort the plans of God Psalm 135 6 whatever the Lord please as he does in heaven and on earth in the sea and all thieves whatever God pleases he does God doesn't do anything because he's being forced to whatever God pleases he does God doesn't do anything because he's trying to make up for his mistakes God doesn't make mistakes whenever he pleases he does it Cleese ESDS 83 be not hasty to go from his presence do not take your stand in an evil cause for he does whatever he pleases in other words don't oppose God because you can't win I remember an old saying and sometimes we sort of say it in jest around the house your arms are too short to box with God amen that's just good and it you're gonna remember that you're gonna say it at home I promise your arms are too short to box with God you can't you can't it's not possible for God to be defeated it's not possible for his plans to be forded thirdly remember this there's nothing that can separate us from God's saving love nothing nothing the Egyptians needed to know this or the Israelites needed to know this you need to know this you need to know this because there are days when you doubt this just like they did Romans 8:35 239 it's so familiar to us but I frankly don't care I'm reading it anyway because I need it I always needed who shall separate us from the love of Christ shall tribulation or disease or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword or the Egyptians or Pharaoh or his chariots or his horses or their the list could go on and on and on as it is written for your sake we are being killed all the day long we are regarded as sheep to be slaughtered no in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us for I am sure that neither death nor life nor Angels nor rulers nor things present nor things to come nor powers nor height nor depth nor anything else in all creation will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord nothing nothing in other words what that means is God didn't bring Israel out of Egypt hoping he could save them he brought Israel out of Egypt knowing that he would save them God didn't bring you out of your situation hoping that he could save you he brought you out of it knowing that he would save you for all of those who have put their faith in God and in his work through the person of Jesus Christ know this God is not hoping that he can save you on that day God knows that he will save you on that day this is our God this is the God in whom we trust this is the God to whom we have given ourselves and we can know that he is able to guard that which we have entrusted with him against that day his sovereign decree but what does this mean but if we don't cooperate with his sovereign decree what if the evil one doesn't cooperate with his sovereign decree folks did you hear what I just told you why are you asking me that if I just told you that he does whatever he pleases why would you ask me that question the providential response though needs to be understood there's a difference between sovereignty and providence between his decree and his providence his decree that's a sovereign decree that that's his authority by which he decrees everything whatsoever comes to pass his Providence is the means by which he works those things out look at verses 5 through 9 look before we look at that let me define this for you a little bit more let me define it first from our confession the 1689 the chapter on Providence defines it this way God the good creator of all things in His infinite power and wisdom Duff uphold direct dispose and govern all creatures and things from the greatest even to the least by his most wise and holy and holy Providence to the end for which they were created according unto his infallible foreknowledge and the free and immutable counsel of his own will to the praise of the glory of his wisdom power justice infinite goodness and mercy John Gill famous Baptist theologian puts it this way Providence by which all the creatures God has made are preserved governed guided and directed the word itself is never used of the Divine Being syllabic Allah or in so many syllables in Scripture yet the thing itself or what is meant by it is fully declared and clearly expressed as that God upholds all things by his power governs the world by his wisdom looks down upon the earth takes notice and care of all his creatures in it and makes provision for them and guides and directs them to answer the ends for which they were made which is the sum and substance of Providence and I think Wayne Grudem puts it even more plainly we may define God's providence as follows God is continually involved with all created things in such a way that he wants not all created things not just those that are in submission to him but every created thing God's providence doesn't just cover Christians God's providence covers Christians non-christians alike every creative thing is governed by God's providence so that he one keeps them existing and maintaining the properties with which he created them that's why things stay what they are that's God's providence it's God's providence by the way that's why we can do science we can study birds because birds won't turn into something else I don't care what the evolutionist have told you we can study primates primates don't turn into something else two cooperates with created things in every action directing their distinctive properties to cause them to act as they do so he keeps things being what they are and doing what they do and three directs them to fulfill his purpose now with that in mind look first with the Egyptians and how they respond and verses five through nine when the king of Egypt was told that the people had fled the mind of Pharaoh and his servant was changed toward the people and they said what is this we have done that we have let Israel go from serving us so he made ready his chariot and took his army with him and took six hundred chosen chariots and all the other chariots of Egypt with officers over all of them and the Lord hardened the heart of Pharaoh king of Egypt and he pursued the people of Israel and while the people of Israel were going out defiantly the Egyptians pursued them all Pharaoh's horses and chariots and his horsemen and his army and overtook them and camped by the sea at Pajaro off in front of bales upon so what would happen did Pharaoh go into a trance and did God all of a sudden make Pharaoh the enemy of the Israelites no he didn't no he didn't he continued to be who he was this is absolute in keeping with who Faro has always been God didn't have to make him be like this but in the Providence of God this Pharaoh was Pharaoh when these events took place so that he being who he was would respond in this exact way because that is what God decreed in order to maximize his glory in these events this is important for a number of reasons first of which is this oftentimes we believe that if people will just have the right kind of experience that that's what they need to bring them to God if they just if they just experienced tragedy if they just experience if they just if something would just happen if God would just do ABC or XYZ then this person would change and they would come to God and sometimes tragedy will strike and you'll see an amendment of behavior I've talked frequently about the post 9/11 quote-unquote revival 9/11 took place and after that in the fall of rest of the fall of 2001 I'm Church attendants bumped up significantly in the United States not only did church attendance bump up significantly but also elected officials were quoting scripture and talking about God people were getting away with things that they never got away with before that that Christmas you know the ACLU and the Citizens United for the separation of church and state weren't nearly as active and saying you can't do that and their displays all over the place and there are a lot of people who refer to this post 9/11 revival because there was an amendment of people's behavior people spoke to one another with greater kindness on the streets there was more patriotism than we'd ever experienced before it was an amazing thing for a few months and then everything went right back to the way it was attendance went right back down to where it was before people's antagonism toward God resumed their normal levels this is what happened with Pharaoh all these plagues come one after the other after the other and they break him down but every time his heart is hardened again and finally the plague of plagues comes the death of the firstborn and it breaks him but it doesn't change his heart he's still the same man and he lets Israel go and eventually when his grief turns back to rage he Gerdes himself up he gets his army together and he says what was I thinking let's go kill them all see don't confuse the amendment of an individual's behavior with an actual change of heart don't confuse the individual who gets tired of fighting against God with the individual who's actually been born again and now loves God Pharaoh was tired he was weary and he was defeated but he was not changed I wonder if there are Pharaoh's among us I wonder if there are individuals even here under the sound of my voice and there are things in your life and circumstances in your life that turned you toward God and and these circumstances that turns you toward God are no longer present in your life or active in your life and yet since you turn toward God and just seem to you that the right thing to do was to continue in this vein but there has been no change of heart you are still the same individual you are still as outside of the camp as you ever were yet you have learned how to be comfortable in this circumstance and in this setting you have not been born again you've not been transformed you have not been united to Christ in his death and in his resurrection you have merely learned to amend your life by keeping a few rules so you appear outwardly to be holy and yet on the inside you still rage against God but you have no idea what to do with it the answer is repent the answer is acknowledge your sin the answer is to flee to Christ the answer is to run to the cross and see your sin nailed there there's also the providential response of Israel notice that Israel is still who they were we see that in verses 10 to 12 when Pharaoh drew near the people of Israel lifted up their eyes and behold the Egyptians were marching after them and they feared greatly and the people of Israel cried out to the Lord they said to Moses is it because there were no graves in Egypt that you have taken us away to die in the wilderness what have you done to us in bringing us out of Egypt is not this what we said to you in Egypt leave us alone that we may serve the Egyptians for it would have been better for us to serve the Egyptians than to die in the wilderness notice the statements here the people feared greatly the people cried out to God the people expected to die this is Israel and this is some of you and this is sometimes me something happens in all of a sudden we lose our minds something happens in all of a sudden even if just for a brief moment we believe and hold on to this idea that God saved me just so he could bring me to this point and embarrass me or God saved me just so that he could get my hopes up and disappoint me because he doesn't really like me God saves me but now he's forgotten about me God saves me but he doesn't love me as much as he loves other people cuz look at how easy it is for them and how hard it is for me know what the problem is twofold number one you've forgotten your deliverance think about me think about what has happened coming up to this point think about all that God has done in order to identify Israel as his own and in order to deliver Israel after hundreds of years out of Egypt think about everything that God has done and now there are some hoofbeats some horses on the way and all of a sudden we believe that the God who controls the nine and the locusts and the flies and the Sun and the stars and the Death Angel has suddenly run out of power ah but not this I know that he can do that but not this I know that he can deal with those things but not this I know he can deal with everybody else's problems but not mine I know that there are other Christians who can find comfort but there's never been a Christian in the history of the world who's been hurt as much as I'm hurting right now and there's no way that God has enough comfort to help me no one's ever blown it as bad as I just blew it and the blood of Jesus may cover other sins of people throughout the history of the known world but there's never been any one who blew it like I blew it and I'm sure that God didn't have this sin in mind when Jesus went to the cross this is us you let a few Egyptians show up and all of a sudden our faith is gone if you can't say Amen you ought to say ouch this is us folks and heartache comes that disappointment comes that failure comes that sin raises its ugly head again and all of a sudden all we can see is the Egyptians and we do not see the God who has dealt with them again and again and again here's what we need to remember and here's where we get off track folks God did not save Israel because of their great faith and if you ever wondered about that here's your answer right here if there was ever any question this settles it right here God did not say these people because of their great faith not these individuals Oh No ah ah here they come Oh oh you brought us out here we couldn't die over there we had to come down over here right we could have just stay we could have just stayed slaves in Egypt wait a minute you're the same people who were crying out to God begging him to get you out of Egypt and now a few horses come close and you're saying yeah we should have just stayed there and died he did not save them because of their great faith amen secondly he didn't save them because of their holiness this is not a holy people not by themselves he didn't save him because their holy he saved him and made him holy amen God's actions were not dependent upon Israel at all but God did this for his own sake and for his own glory and one of the reasons that he chose Israel was because they're not Egypt in other words if God in His sovereignty settles his love on the most powerful nation in the world people see the success of that nation and they say it's because of horses and chariots but if God sets his love upon a slave people who have no power and exist in small numbers and they become the most significant people in the world the only answer is God's on their side that's the answer but why is this important in light of God's providence in your life in these difficult circumstances here's why it's important because if God saved me for his own glory and not because of my faith not because of my holiness not because of my goodness not because of my intellect then when difficulty comes my way it's God's problem amen the Egyptians are coming we got a problem Oh God's got a problem cuz God's the one who delivered us from them so God's the one who's got to deal with them and he will he he will but you know what I believe you won't when I believe he won't is when I believe that my deliverance in my salvation are contingent upon me being worthy of it until now all of a sudden I hear the sound of chariots coming and I say yep oh I didn't have as much faith as I needed to nice gotta let the Knights gonna let the chariots get me yep I only kept none of the things on my holiness list instead of 10 guys gonna let the Egyptians kill me you didn't save yourself and you can't keep yourself God is the one who keeps his people God was the one keeping Israel there's no way in the world for them to defeat the Egyptians and that's the whole point finally there is the prophetic declaration and this is crucial verses 13 and 14 Moses said to the people again remember he's got a little insight on this fear not stand firm and see the salvation of the Lord that's all that's a sermon right there in itself is it not there's your three points you want to preach something fear not stand firm and see the salvation of the Lord which he will work for you today why for the Egyptians you see today you shall never see again the Lord will fight for you and you have only to be silent fear not stand firm watch God shut up there it is right there there it is right there can't believe you brought us out here and I we gonna died over there now we're gonna die I didn't want to listen to Godzilla just a I'm in this fear not watch God stand firm and please shut up this is how we know that God is active because he has his prophet tell us that he's acting and this is how we know why God has acted because he has his prophet tell us that he acted see folks if God just acted but there was no prophet to tell us if he just acted but he never gave us his word to explain then we'd be like the rest of the world every culture has a religious explanation for the way the world works every culture that's why there have been people throughout history who have thrown virgins into volcanoes or beheaded their enemies and tossed their heads down the stairs of their wonderful religious monuments this is why people have eaten the hearts of their adversaries this is why people have done rain dances this is why people have done a whole host of other things because you look at the world you see what happens and without the Word of God all you have is your own assumptions as to why things are happening the way they are and so you do the best you can with what you have and you try to appease the gods and you try to control nature yet this is not the way God has dealt with his people God has revealed himself in his word all Scripture is god-breathed and profitable for teaching and rebuking and training and righteousness that the man of God may be thoroughly furnished for every good work it's the Word of God it's the Word of God this is important because unfortunately many Christians still try to operate as though we don't have the Word of God and so any vient happens your life and you close your eyes and say own to try to figure out what it is that God is saying to you through the events that's paganism that's paganism that's not biblical Christianity that's paganism God did not call the Egyptians or the Israelites to sit there close their eyes and think real hard about what he was trying to say to them through Z through these events he had his prophet and his prophet said have faith fear not watch God shut up and now oh by the way turn around and let's walk cuz God did that and he told you beforehand that he was going to deliver you out of the hands of the Egyptians and that he was going to wipe them out so that they would know that God is God so that you will know that God is God so that you are not tempted to worship and serve another God and folks this is the key God doesn't want Israel to worship the Egyptian gods God doesn't want Israel to worship Moses Moses God doesn't want Israel to worship his staff God wants Israel to worship God so he communicates clearly to his people through his prophets here's Who I am here's what I'm doing and here's why and here's how I expect you to respond and this is why we worship in accordance with what we find in the Word of God God hasn't even called us to figure out on our own how we respond to his deliverance God even tells us in his word how we're to respond to his deliverance here's how you respond to the way that I've delivered you so God delivers us through the person and work of Jesus Christ even he doesn't leave us and say okay Jesus has saved you by his blood now do the best you can to figure out how you can say thank you to me no he tells us what to do he tells us what to observe he tells us that we're to give attention to the public reading of his word he tells us that we're to sing psalms hymns and spiritual songs he tells us that we're to pray he tells us that there's to be preaching he tells us that we're to observe the lord's table he tells us these things and he tells us that we're to do it one day and seven over and over and over and over again so that when we gather we are responding to God in the way that God has commanded that we respond to him so that we can know we're giving to him exactly what He desires and deserves we don't have to be innovative and in fact when we attempt to be innovative basically what we're doing is we're when we attempt to be innovative in worship we're like this husband we're like the husband who says this I know she has told me ninety seven times that this is what she likes and I know that every time that I do what she has told me ninety seven times that she likes that she really likes what she says she likes however this is the 98th time so I'm going to do something that she hasn't told me that she likes which she's kind of indicated that she doesn't really like at all but because I'm being innovative I'm sure she'll be blown away and again man if you can't say man yells out and then we get offended when we come on the ninety eight time and do that innovative thing that we kind of know she doesn't really like but we're tired of doing the thing that she likes and we come to her and her response is oh and now we're offended why well because you're supposed to like what you don't like this is the church unfortunately in worship in many instances I know that God has told us clearly in his word what worship is but I believe that we can give him something that will blow his mind we can go above and beyond that which the God of the universe expects and worship we're going to be innovative no we're gonna do what he says the way he says it because he says it because God delivers his people so that they might worship Him rightly for his deliverance you see the next time you hear the hopes of horses the next time the Egyptians get so close that you can almost see the whites of their eyes the next time that you are tempted to throw up your hands and to lay down and wait for somebody to put dirt on you the next time you are tempted to shake your fist at God because he delivered you only to disappoint you now remember there has been a sovereign decree and that nothing is happening by accident remember that this is God's providential plan and he is working out your salvation in accordance with that which will bring him maximum glory not necessarily that which will bring you maximum comfort and remember if you have questions or doubts about why God does what he does the way he does you don't find it by closing your eyes smoking some peyote and thinking real hard about it you find it by searching his word because he has spoken he has done so authoritative Lee and he has done so completely as it relates to your salvation and mine there's nothing that befall zyou but his word doesn't explain to you and the next time you wonder whether or not he really loves you or whether or not he just brought you out here so that he could bury you by the sea remind yourself that as you see your Egyptians coming toward you that God didn't deliver you by putting to death somebody else's firstborn he delivered you with the death of his own firstborn so if you want to know whether or not God really loves you don't look at your own heart don't look at your own circumstances don't look at your own pain and don't look at your own fears if you want to know whether God really loves you you look at the cross and i double-dog dare you to look at the cross and question god's love whatever you're experiencing whatever you're going through I guarantee you Saints you look at the cross where your deliverance was purchased and you may not have all the answers as to why you're enduring this right now but what you will have is the answer to this question can God deliver the answer is a resounding yes it can deliver because he had has delivered and he will deliver this is the assurance that his ours in Christ let's pray Oh God how we thank you for your mercy and your kindness and your patience and your long-suffering with us how we thank you for the countless ways that you have reminded us of your goodness and of your deliverance the countless ways that you have demonstrated your patience the countless ways that you have reassured us of your love remind you of us that greater love has no man than this that he lay down his life for his friends reminded us that you demonstrated your love toward us and this that while we were yet sinners Christ died for us reminding us that you so loved the world that you gave your only begotten Son so that all the believing ones may not perish but may have everlasting life grant by your grace that we might look to this love as opposed to merely looking to our own circumstances father I lift up those under the sound of my voice who have heard the hoofbeats and the rolling wheels of chariots in their lives this week who have seen the Egyptians so close that it seemed that there was no way out grant by your grace that they would be reminded today that you are not a God who delivers partially and you are not a God who delivers only to disappoint remind us all today that your deliverance is about your glory and grant by your grace that we might hold to this truth that we might walk in this truth and that we might be conformed to this truth this we pray for Christ's sake and in his name amen
