I will be with you. And this will be the sign to you

Exodus 3:7-12

The Lord said, “I have indeed seen the misery of my people in Egypt. I have heard them crying out because of their slave drivers, and 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 and spacious land, a land flowing with milk and honey—the home of the Canaanites, Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites. And now the cry of the Israelites has reached me, and I have seen the way the Egyptians are oppressing them. So now, go. I am sending you to Pharaoh to bring my people the Israelites out of Egypt.”

But Moses said to God, “Who am I that I should go to Pharaoh and bring the Israelites out of Egypt?”

And God said, “I will be with you. And this will be the sign to you that it is I who have sent you: When you have brought the people out of Egypt, you will worship God on this mountain.”

Be my messenger to Pharaoh: lead my people to freedom. But the emissary is most reluctant. He raises one objection after another, and each is countered by God:

Who am I? This is Moses' dilemma. It goes deeper than 'I am not up to the job.' And God's response is not 'you are uniquely qualified' - not 'you are' anything - but 'I am' What gives us identity, what will give Moses authority, is God's identity, his presence. 'I will be with you.''

Why?

I am nothing but God is with us. It is the Lord with us so we are the servant of the Lord, we can do what God's mission on us.

I will be with you: gives us the identity same as God gives Moses.

For a long time in the desert, Moses has lost faith and afraid to take this great mission.

7我的百姓

中間： 我要救他們脫離

10我的百姓

神其實早就行動了，只是我們不知道。我要打發你去。神的中心思想是要拯救他的百姓。神願意降卑為人。

摩西的理由，1）我是什麼人。神可以做的人，讓人來做！是提昇人的地位。這是恩典。重要是我與你同在。

神給摩西保證。通常都在事情發生前來保證。一個未來的事來保證看來不合理，聖經的話因為不合理所以我們要珍惜，如果聖經都是合理，聖經就沒有價值了。你神的話就是保證。先相信才有保證，不是先保證我們才能相信，神的話、神的吩咐就是保證。先相信才有保證，先相信才有神蹟，不是先有神噸才相信，相信能經歷神的大能，不是經歷大能才相信。這是相輔相成的。因為我們軟弱，所以神加添我們信心。

神不斷在改變我們的生命，思想。我們是誰不重要，我們能做什麼不重要，重要是神邀請我們，是提昇我們身份。心理學可以幫助我們，心理學有很多卻是違背聖經的。

How?
