God is working all things for our salvation, but the path that gets us there is rarely that of least resistance. In Exodus 2, we find the crooked roadmap that prepares Moses to be the savior of Israel–prefiguring the cruciform itinerary that leads Christ to be the Savior of the world.

There is a temptation in the desperate moments of our lives to let fear give way to doubt.  But Exodus 2:1-10 shows us that God can be trusted in the darkest of times.  He is working powerfully on our behalf to bring a Savior, and deliver us from our slavery to sin.  

Dr. Joshua Van Ee continues the Spring 2021 Morning Devotions Series titled, “Meals with the Lord.”

This devotional will focus on the fact that God welcomes all kinds of people into his presence as he converts them by his grace.  Jethro, Moses’ father-in-law, offers a splendid exam as God causes this pagan priest to make a beautiful profession of faith, followed by Jethro eating with the elders of Israel in the presence of God.  Who can’t God save?

Despite God's amazing call to lead one of the greatest rescue missions ever, Moses says “no” to God five times. Like most people in Exodus, Moses wrestles with his own form of spiritual slavery — a fear that is greater than his faith in God.
