Exodus 6:6-8 “Therefore, say to the Israelites: ‘I am the Lord, and I will free you from your slavery in Egypt. I will redeem you with mighty power and great acts of judgment. I will make you my own special people, and I will be your God. And you will know that I am the Lord your God who has rescued you from your slavery in Egypt. I will bring you into the land I swore to give to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. It will be your very own property. I am the Lord’!”
Moses went to God for answers, and He responded by reiterating his promises. Knowing God’s promises means peace and hope for us. In the darkness of a harsh reality, let God’s promises fill you with the light of peace and hope in Him. Remember that his promise was fulfilled at the cross. It seemed like it was an unfilled promise, but it was rather the fulfillment to keep it.
