The table was set for freedom. 

Moses was in the palace.  He was placed in the perfect position to free the slaves.  But, like all men, when we have freedom we get to make choices …

Exodus 2 11 One day, after Moses had grown up, he went out to where his own people were and watched them at their hard labor. He saw an Egyptian beating a Hebrew, one of his own people. 12 Looking this way and that and seeing no one, he killed the Egyptian and hid him in the sand. 13 The next day he went out and saw two Hebrews fighting. He asked the one in the wrong, “Why are you hitting your fellow Hebrew?” 14 The man said, “Who made you ruler and judge over us? Are you thinking of killing me as you killed the Egyptian?” Then Moses was afraid and thought, “What I did must have become known.”  15 When Pharaoh heard of this, he tried to kill Moses, but Moses fled from Pharaoh and went to live in Midian …

I have to think that the Hebrew people did not just feel like they lost a prince … they lost a promise.  I have to think that when Moses fled for Midian he took all of the hope that they had of gaining freedom.

How often does God set our lives in motion with the very intention of giving us freedom … and we walk into trouble as Moses did?

I love the name YHWH.  Because in my pronunciation of it, it ends in “way”.  Jesus gives us something that we can not have without Him.  A Way.  And without a way, we have no direction.  And before long, we are snapping, like Moses did, and acting in ways that will not even be acceptable to those who do not know Him.

In the attached worship song, I think it says it best:

I Won’t Forget

The Wonder Of How You Brought

Deliverance …

The Exodus Of My Heart

You Found Me

You Freed Me

Held Back The Waters For My Release

John saw this after Jesus left our midst.

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word WAS God.  The Word became flesh and made His dwelling among us.

Thank God that He loves us too much to leave us enslaved.

With YHWH, we have a Way.

In The Name of the Father and the 

Son and the Holy Spirit.  Amen.
