Never Absent | The God Story
Exodus 1:7-10
v.7 “The Israelites…greatly INCREASED in NUMBERS and became so numerous that the land of Egypt was FILLED with them.”
The TEMPTATION, when we find ourselves in situations of SILENCE from God, is to draw conclusion about God from our CIRCUMSTANCES.
But, God’s SILENCE is not ABSENCE.
MOSES and PROVISION.
“I am, who I am. This is what you are to say to the Israelites: I AM has sent me to you.” Exodus 3:14
Once again, God decided to work WITHIN the UNDERSTANDING of humanity at that TIME.
But, God said; I’m going to make PROVISION for those who put their TRUST in ME.
The BLOOD of a spotless lamb, on the ENTRANCE of a home will be a SIGN that those inside the home, place their TRUST in Me.
Exodus 20:1-3
v.2 “I am the Lord, YOUR God, who BROUGHT YOU out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery.”
BEFORE I give you my rules, I want you to know: you’re MINE and I’m YOURS.
RELATIONSHIP with God is NOT predicated on keeping RULES.
v.3 “You shall have no other God’s before ME.”
Rules never ESTABLISH a relationship with your Heavenly Father. Rules are always CONFIRMATION of a relationship with your Heavenly Father.
The entire history of Israel is proof that God chooses the FAMILY model over the CLUB model, every time.
In the Family model, you are BORN or ADOPTED into a family, and so you are PART of the family.
“Look, the Lamb of God who TAKES AWAY the SIN, of the WORLD.” John 1:29
