In what ways can we trust God's plan like Moses and Aaron did? Verse Focus: Exodus 6:27 “They were the ones who spoke to Pharaoh king of Egypt to bring out the Israelites from Egypt — it was this Moses and Aaron.” Seeing Moses and Aaron’s Trust – They stepped into a hostile court, announcing God’s demands to the world’s most powerful ruler. – They did it after years of Israel’s bondage, when hope seemed remote. – They relied on God’s Word alone, not on persuasive eloquence, military force, or political leverage (Exodus 4:10–12; 7:6). Why Their Example Matters Like Moses and Aaron, we face situations that appear immovable. Their story shows that trust is less about circumstances and more about Who speaks into those circumstances. Ways We Can Trust God’s Plan 1. Believe God’s promises over present pressures • Moses heard, “I will bring you out” (Exodus 6:6–8). • We hear, “All things work together for good” (Romans 8:28). 2. Acknowledge weakness yet move forward • Moses said, “I am slow of speech” (Exodus 4:10). • God responds, “My power is perfected in weakness” (2 Corinthians 12:9). 3. Obey first, understand later • They spoke to Pharaoh before seeing a single plague unfold. • Noah built the ark before rain existed (Hebrews 11:7). 4. Wait for God’s timing • Deliverance came after repeated refusals (Exodus 7–11). • David waited years to sit on the throne promised in 1 Samuel 16. 5. Expect opposition yet anticipate victory • Pharaoh intensified Israel’s labor (Exodus 5:6–9), but God still prevailed. • Jesus warned of tribulation yet promised peace (John 16:33). 6. Lean on God-given partnerships • Moses was not alone; Aaron spoke for him (Exodus 4:14–16). • Paul traveled with Silas and Timothy (Acts 16:1–5). 7. Keep the bigger picture in view • The exodus pointed to a covenant nation and, ultimately, to Christ (Luke 9:31). • Our trials develop faith that shines “to praise, glory, and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ” (1 Peter 1:7). Putting Trust into Practice Today – Surrender the outcome: “Commit your way to the LORD; trust in Him, and He will act.” (Psalm 37:5) – Speak what God says: declare Scripture over fear, as Moses declared God’s word to Pharaoh. – Take the next obedient step: small faith steps invite larger miracles. – Surround yourself with believing voices: Aaron’s support pictures Christian fellowship (Hebrews 10:24–25). – Record God’s faithfulness: Moses kept recounting each plague and deliverance; journaling does the same for us. Encouraging Verses to Hold On To • Proverbs 3:5-6 – “Trust in the LORD with all your heart…” • Isaiah 41:10 – “Do not fear, for I am with you…” • Deuteronomy 31:6 – “He will never leave you nor forsake you.” • Hebrews 11:27 – “By faith Moses left Egypt, not fearing the king’s anger; he persevered because he saw Him who is invisible.” Trust grows when we treat God’s Word as more certain than what we see. Moses and Aaron did, and an entire nation walked out free. |
