And so Moses’ job was to be faithful in delivering that word. And yet we saw that God’s purpose was to glorify Himself even in the rejection of His word. Now go tell Pharaoh all these things, but he’s not going to listen to a word you say. And then to boot, God tells him, “By the way, Moses, when you go with this message that I’m sending you with now to Pharaoh, he is going to reject it. Though Moses was himself experiencing discouragement, the people had rejected him, the foreman had rejected him, even when God had given him an encouraging word to speak to the people of Israel they had turned their backs on him. But as we looked at Exodus 6:10 through 7:7 two or three things stood out to us. In fact, the passage tonight gives us the commencement of that contest between the Lord and Pharaoh. The great contest between God and Pharaoh was about to begin. In Exodus 6:10 through 7:7 the passage we last studied, we said that we were looking at a turning point in the Exodus story. It’s been a month since we’ve been in Exodus together, so let’s refresh our memories. If you have your Bibles, I’d invite you to turn with me to Exodus, the 7 th chapter, and as you turn toward Exodus 7, verse 8, you might want to sneak a peak back at Exodus 6:10, through 7:7 and remind yourself of what we studied last.
