One of the greatest themes that runs through the entire bible is that God wants to be Emmanuel, ‘God with us.’ You can see this from Genesis through Revelation.

Another theme that runs through the bible is that as Emmanuel, God wants to be all that He is in our lives. In other words, all that God is, He wants to be for you when He walks with you on the journey of this life. That changes everything.

All that God is, He is for you, and He has given the nature of His character through H’s is name. There are many names God uses to describe Himself, but perhaps the greatest of all is when He told Moses that His name was YWHW. It means, “I am.” Actually, it means even more than that, it means. “All that I am I am to you.” It’s personal, it’s relational, and when you take hold of the promises contained in His name it will change your life.

Here’s the back story; when Jacob and his sons went to Egypt, there were 70 persons among them. God preserved them as a nation there in Egypt and provided for them during a severe seven-year famine.

When you come to the book of Exodus, however, it’s 400 years later. They have grown from 70 to more than 2 million people. The favor which Pharaoh had shown when they first arrived in Egypt did not last. As other Pharaohs came to power, they became concerned because Israel had grown so great in number. In fear, Pharaoh gave orders to enslave the Israelites and to make life difficult and harsh for them. But the more Israel suffered the more they grew in number.

God chose Moses to deliver the nation from the bondage of their slavery. Moses was a miracle baby. Pharaoh gave orders that every son who was born was to be thrown into the Nile, but Moses’ parents hid him in a wicker basket and set him amongst the reeds of the Nile River. They entrusted Moses to the mercy of God.

Pharaoh’s daughter found the baby Moses in the basket and decided to raise him as her own. Moses was raised in Pharaoh’s home with all the privilege and accoutrements of wealth and status. When Moses had grown to be a man, he saw the hard labor and suffering of the Hebrews, and it troubled him.

One day he saw an Egyptian slave master beating a Hebrew. He looked this way and that, and when he saw no one, he struck down the Egyptian, killed him, and hid him in the sand.

But the matter became known and when Pharaoh heard of it, he tried to kill Moses, so Moses fled into the desert and came to the land of Midian. There he became a shepherd and stayed in the desert 40 years.

In Exodus 3, Moses had an encounter with God, but God had been working on him for more than forty years. It is here that we come to understand who God is and who God desires to be in our lives.
