Who Can Deliver?

As things seemed to get worse, Moses wondered if God could be relied on. God responded with a series of promises, saying “I will…” 6 times! God brought plagues on Egypt to show he was more powerful than Pharoah and every god of Egypt. The gods of Egypt were shown to be faulty power sources. They were idols: things people valued, put meaning in, and relied on but that couldn’t deliver when it mattered most… Still, Pharaoh kept trusting the forgeries, becoming more calloused with every turn. What faulty power sources are you trusting in, and how have you become numb to the hope that God really can deliver?
