    About this ebook

    This is a study of Exodus 13:18-19. This simple passage of Scripture contains some important details about the work of God in the wilderness of life. In these two verses we see that God not only delivers His people but also, how, understanding their weaknesses and temptations, He led, refined, equipped and matured them as they traveled through the wilderness to the Red Sea.

    This is not just Israel's story but ours as well. The same God works in us as He did in the lives of His people in Moses' day. The purpose of this study is to help the reader understand the work of God in the difficulties of life.

      Preface

      Exodus 13:18-19 contains some important details about the work of God in the lives of His people. In these two verses we see how God not only delivers His people from bondage, but also how He, understanding their weak-nesses and temptations, leads, refines, equips, and matures them to become all He intended them to be.

      Admittedly, Israel did not always learn these lessons, but these verses show us the commitment of God to His role of maturing those He delivers from bondage. Exodus 13:18-19 teach us what God wants to do for us and how He wants to equip and mature us in the work of His kingdom. I trust that these two simple verses of Scripture will be an encouragement and challenge to all who take the time to study and meditate on them.

      God bless,

      Chapter 1 - Delivered by God

      17 When Pharaoh let the people go… (Exodus 13)

      Exodus 13:17 begins with a statement of deliverance. To understand this, we need to set the scene and examine the context. The people of Israel were living in Egypt. They had settled there in the days of Joseph to escape a seven year famine that was ravaging their region.

      Initially, the people of God experienced great blessing under the capable leadership of Joseph. They were settled in the region of Goshen, the richest pasture land in the region. Because Joseph was second in command and enjoyed the favour of Pharaoh, the Israelites experienced prosperity and peace in Egypt.

      After the death of the Pharaoh, however, things changed. The new king, seeing the prosperity and blessing of God on the Israelites, began to feel threatened. Exodus 1:8-11 describes his attitude toward God's people:

      8 Now there arose a new king over Egypt who did not know Joseph. 9 And he said to his people, Behold, the people of Israel are too many and too mighty for us. 10 Come, let us deal shrewdly with them, lest they multiply, and, if war breaks out, they join our enemies and fight against us and escape from the land. 11 Therefore they set taskmasters over them to afflict them with heavy burdens. They built for Pharaoh store cities, Pithom and Raamses. (Exodus 1)

      During the reign of this new king, the children of Israel were reduced to slavery. Task masters were assigned
