Exo 3:8 “So I have come down to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians, and to bring them up from that land to a good and large land, to a land flowing with milk and honey, to the place of the Canaanites and the Hittites and the Amorites and the Perizzites and the Hivites and the Jebusites.
The atrocities faced by the Israelites in Egypt had reached alarming levels. The yoke of slavery was extremely hurting and the living conditions were deplorable. Goshen, the space allotted to them more than four hundred years earlier had become too congested for them and their animals. The leadership of the day had craftily come up with birth control measures to curtail their increment.
And it was at this point in time when Jehovah could not hold it any more and organized a divine takeover. He came down to deliver his people out of the hands of the cruel Egyptians and carry them “swiftly in Eagle’s wings to a good, spacious land flowing with milk and honey”. If God did not step in, Pharaoh was just too strong and deliverance from any other place would have been impossible.
There are certain situations that we find ourselves in this life that only the powerful hand of God can bring us out. As he intervened in those days, he still does today. He is God and does not change. What is your current challenge that calls for divine takeover? A sickness?, a bondage?, an endless family crisis?, a debt? Call upon the Lord with all your heart and ask for divine intervention.
