God Assures Moses that Pharaoh Will Not Let Israel Go

And I am sure that the king of Egypt will not let you go, no, not by a mighty hand. And I will stretch out my hand, and smite Egypt with all my wonders which I will do in the midst thereof: and after that he will let you go. And I will give this people favour in the sight of the Egyptians: and it shall come to pass, that, when ye go, ye shall not go empty. But every woman shall borrow of her neighbour, and of her that sojourneth in her house, jewels of silver, and jewels of gold, and raiment: and ye shall put them upon your sons, and upon your daughters; and ye shall spoil the Egyptians. Exodus 3:19-22

Steps: 4, 5, 6, 11, 12

God tells Moses what Pharaoh will do before it happens so that when it does happen Moses will gain confidence that God knows how to take care of business. God assures Moses that when the time comes He will reveal His signs and wonders until Pharaoh will let them go. God also assures Moses that when Egypt lets Israel go they will go out with plenty of money and possessions for their new land. God has everything under control.

Prayer for Today: Help us to gain courage from how You took care of Egypt so long ago. We know that You revealed Your power to deliver Your people back then, but we want to know that You will reveal Your power to deliver us from our difficulties today. Thank You for he opportunity to work with You so that we can have the assurance that You can take care of us now. We pray for Your faith to accept Your promises.
