"Therefore, say to the Israelites: 'I am the LORD, and I will bring you out from under the yoke of the Egyptians. I will free you from being slaves to them, and I will redeem you with an outstretched arm and with mighty acts of judgement. I will take you as my own people, and I will be your God. Then you will know that I am the LORD your God, who brought you out from under the yoke of the Egyptians. And I will bring you to the land I swore with uplifted hand to give to Abraham, to Isaac and to Jacob. I will give it to you as a possession. I am the LORD.'" (v. 6-8)
Through Scripture we know the events that took place, and we know how the LORD kept His promise to bring His people to the promise land. However, for the Israelites at that time, it was quite difficult and challenging to believe and accept such words from Moses considering the circumstance they were in. How was it that the Pharoh would just allow all those slaves the Egyptians depending on to simply just leave? It seemed impossible. However, nothing is impossible for the LORD. If the LORD promises, we know He will keep it. All that is required is belief, acceptance, and faith. Let us always have hope in the LORD.
His heart is touched with my grief;
When the days are weary, the long nights dreary,
I know my Savior cares. —Graeff
Even when we don't sense God's presence, His loving care is all around us.
