Exodus 4:1-31
In Moses, there is great weakness. In the Lord, there is great
strength. By himself, Moses was completely out of his depth. With God,
Moses would go from strength to strength. He had God’s promise as well
as God’s command: “Now go, and I will help you speak and will teach you
what to say” (Exodus 4:12). Moses was not to be left on his own. As well
as having the help of the Lord, he would also have the help of Aaron,
his brother: “I will help both of you speak, and I will teach you what
to do” (Exodus 4:15). Moses and Aaron were not to work in isolation from
the other “leaders of the people of Israel.” They were to share with
them “everything the Lord had said” (Exodus 4:29-30). God’s Word to
Israel was a Word of power – He “did miraculous signs for the people”
(Exodus 4:30) – and love – “The Lord was concerned about the people of
Israel” (Exodus 4:31).
