Exodus 6 - Praying God's Word

 

Please read Exodus 6.

Meditate on this phrase from verses 2, 6, 7, 8, and 29.

 

I am the LORD.

 

God said, “I am the LORD” five times in Exodus 6.  He said it as a statement of fact, as a name by which He would make Himself known, as an assurance He would deliver and redeem His people from bondage, as a guarantee He would keep His Word, and as the reason Moses was to obey and speak all the LORD spoke to him.

Notice the responses of the people to the LORD.  Because of their bondage and state of despondency, the Israelites refused to listen to what the LORD said through Moses (v. 9).  And Moses continued to make excuses for not wanting to obey the LORD (v. 12, 30).

“I am the LORD.”  This is God, the self-existent, eternal Master who has supreme power and authority over you.  His Word to Moses is His Word to you: “I am the LORD. I will keep My Word.  I want to deliver and redeem you from your bondage. Obey Me as Master, Ruler, King, and LORD of your life.”

Pray Exodus 6:6-7 and 29 over yourself and those for whom you stand guard as a faithful, prayerful watchman (Isaiah 62:6-7).

 

“You are LORD.

Bring __________ and me out

 from under our burdens

 and deliver us from our bondage. 

Redeem us with an outstretched arm

 and with great judgments. 

Take us as Your people and be our God.

 Let us know You are the LORD our God

who brought us out from under our burdens.

 Help us to obey all that You speak to us.

Because You are LORD Jesus~”
