Now, therefore, behold, the cry of the children of Israel has come to me, and I have also seen the oppression with which the Egyptians oppressed them. Come now, therefore, and I will send you to Pharaoh, that you may bring my people, the children of Israel, out of Egypt. But Moses said to God, Who am I that I should go to Pharaoh, and that I should bring the children of Israel out of Egypt? So he said, I will certainly be with you, and this shall be a sign to you that I have sent you. …
… Indeed, I know their sufferings. And I've come down to deliver them from the Egyptians and to bring them up out of that land to a good and spacious land, to a land flowing with milk and honey, the country of the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Amorites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites. The cry of the Israelites has now come to me. I've also seen how the Egyptians oppress them. Now go. I am sending you to Pharaoh to bring my people, the Israelites, out of Egypt.

… I am concerned about their suffering. So I have come down to rescue them from the hand of the Egyptians and to bring them up out of that land into a good, say it with me, into a what? Good and what? Spacious land flowing with, come on, come on Crowder, we hear you today, flowing with milk and honey. Now you might be going, I'm lactose intolerant and I don't know if I want to go there. I'm just saying that tongue-in-cheek, obviously. But we're living in a new day, right? You're like, I don't know what kind of milk they got there. They got almond milk there? Is the honey local honey? I like my honey in the little bear squeezing thing. Is it farm to table, honey? don't get tripped up on the milk and honey. It's a land of abundance. And we're going to see as we journey through this collection, it's a land of rest. It's a land where you can lay down and sleep at night knowing God's got me. …
… They're suffering. I have come down to rescue them from the hand of the Egyptians and bring them up out of that land into a, check it out, into a good and spacious land. A land flowing, Crowder. With milk and honey. I don't know. I'm trying my best. I'm holding the pen different ways. There we go. I think it's me. A land flowing with milk and honey. Now, when I said that today, nobody went, what? Flowing with milk and honey? I'm lactose intolerant. Sounds awesome, but do they have oat milk? Almond milk? What kind of milk they have. Is the honey local honey? I like the one that comes in the squeeze bottle. It looks like a bear. They have that one? What kind of honey is it? That's probably what you'd get from us. But if you said that to people in this time, they lost their minds. It is a good and a spacious land, and it's flowing with milk and honey. can you see it? …
… and have heard their cry because of their taskmasters. I know their sufferings and I have come down to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptian to bring them up out of that land to a good and broad land, a land flowing with milk and honey, to the place of the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Amorites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites. Now behold, the cry of the people of Israel has come to me, and I have seen the oppression with which the Egyptians oppressed them. Come, I will send you to Pharaoh that you may bring forth my people, the sons of Israel, out of Egypt. The man of destiny was not impressed. The streak of stubbornness which caused him to reject life as an Egyptian now made him extremely dubious of the divine destiny thrust upon him. Moses said to God, Who am I that I should go to Pharaoh and bring the sons of Israel out of Egypt? Almost as if surprised by the reluctance of the man picked for destiny, God replied, I will be with you, and this shall be the sign for you that I have sent you. …
I believe there are many of us, maybe not all of us, who would find ourselves in a moment like that. And so today I want to continue that from Exodus chapter 3, verses 1 through 11. and all the bible school students already know who we're talking about today somebody say moses moses we grew up singing a song in church called pharaoh pharaoh oh baby let my people go and then if you really got into it you would go uh yeah yeah yeah yeah it was to the tune of louie louie i don't want to get a copyright strike on youtube so i won't sing it but we would do that Pharaoh, Pharaoh, oh baby, let my people go. And then everybody would go, uh. And a quick story, one time I was 17 years old, just getting started in ministry. And I was leading that for the youth. And one of the parents was really uptight and she walked in and she saw how I had all the kids going, uh. And she said, don't do that again. That's not a holy, that's not a holy gesture. …
… verse 7, it says, the Lord said, I have surely seen the affliction of my people who are in Egypt and have heard their cry because of their taskmasters. I know their sufferings and I have come down to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians and to bring them up out of that land to a good and broad land, a land flowing with milk and honey to the place. You know, so here God is saying, look, I'm aware. I'm there. I see it. I notice this. And a thing I want to point out, because this jumped out to me this time reading through the Bible more than ever, is the character of God and how, you know, when I was younger, I used to think, okay, there's the Old Testament stories and then God changes and then here's the New Testament. Oh, thank God for the New Testament. But as you read, you realize it's really no different. It's the same God. Like Hebrews said, Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever. And here you have God say, I've seen the affliction of my people. They're in Egypt. I've heard their cry. I know their sufferings and I've come down to rescue them. It reminds me of what Jesus says in Luke 12 verses six and seven how he says look he goes there's not a sparrow okay. These sparrows where you can get two of them for a penny. He goes not one of them will fall to the ground without my notice …
