God Knows
Exodus 2:11-25
March 1, 2020
THE BIG IDEA: Moses’ life story reveals to us that God never stops his
work of guiding our circumstances and seeking our hearts.
In the story of
the Hebrew people’s suffering, we learn the true nature of God, and we see
His determination to redeem people, beginning with His covenant people.
Exodus 2:11-25
2
11
One day, when Moses had grown up, he went out to his people
and looked on their burdens, and he saw an Egyptian beating a Hebrew,
one of his people.

Acts 7:22
Hebrews 11:24-25
Moses is a man of deep compassion.
He looked this way and that, and seeing no one, he struck down the
Egyptian and hid him in the sand.
12
§
§
Moses is a man of recurring anger.
Moses seeks to be a deliverer, but does it his way, not God’s
way.
When he went out the next day, behold, two Hebrews were struggling
together.
And he said to the man in the wrong, “Why do you strike your
companion?”
14 He answered, “Who made you a prince and a judge
over us?
Do you mean to kill me as you killed the Egyptian?”
Then
Moses was afraid, and thought, “Surely the thing is known.”
15 When
Pharaoh heard of it, he sought to kill Moses.
But Moses fled from
Pharaoh and stayed in the land of Midian.
And he sat down by a well.
§
When it comes to the shaping of our hearts, God will not rush
things.
Now the priest of Midian had seven daughters, and they came and
drew water and filled the troughs to water their father’s flock.
17 The
shepherds came and drove them away, but Moses stood up and saved
them, and watered their flock.
18 When they came home to their father
Reuel, he said, “How is it that you have come home so soon today?”
19
They said, “An Egyptian delivered us out of the hand of the
shepherds and even drew water for us and watered the flock.”
20 He said
to his daughters, “Then where is he?
Why have you left the man?
Call
him, that he may eat bread.”
21 And Moses was content to dwell with
the man, and he gave Moses his daughter Zipporah.
22 She gave birth to
a son, and he called his name Gershom, for he said, “I have been a
sojourner in a foreign land.”
16
During those many days the king of Egypt died, and the people of
Israel groaned because of their slavery and cried out for help.
Their cry
for rescue from slavery came up to God. 24 And God heard their
groaning, and God remembered his covenant with Abraham, with Isaac,
and with Jacob.
25 God saw the people of Israel—and God knew.

§
Moses loses credibility with his own people and learns he is not
ready to help change circumstances or lead people.
At 40 years of age, God sends Moses into “the wilderness”,
where Moses will spend the next 40 years coming to know God
and being prepared to be the Deliverer of the Hebrews.
