You’ll recall that last time we began looking at Exodus that we saw the link from Genesis where the forming narrative continues as God fulfills His promises to His people.
We mentioned how God is the Hero in this book Who works through regular servants like Moses in accord with His covenant love.
As we enter chapter 2 God draws our attention to the man, His servant, Whom He selects and prepares to use as a key figure in Israel’s deliverance and continuing history. As we look through the Scriptures, God always has His servants that He prepares and raises up right at the right providential moments. From Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph, Moses, Joshua, Gideon, Samson, Samuel, Ruth, Rahab, David, Solomon, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Hosea, Daniel, Mordecai, Esther, John the Baptist, the disciples, Paul, etc…
Ironically here in Exodus, the guy God chooses (Moses) is prepared and not launched out until he’s 80 years old!
