Protection
As we study Exodus, the brutality and evil of the fallen world hits like a ton of bricks made without straw. Along with millennia of others, we cry out, “In the face of such wickedness, what can possibly be done?”
Nothing. In one sense, there is no temporal solution. To eliminate all evil is beyond human scope – something even utopians, Stoics, and Leroy Jethro Gibbs have been forced to admit. Unlike pagans, we have the wonderful scriptural hope that God is working all for His good purposes. Beyond what we can fully see, there is a plan unfolding that will lead to a complete freedom from evil.
Everything. In another way, there is much that should, can, and must be done to battle wickedness. As we learn along with Moses, God empowers His people to stand up. We are to lead toward freedom, risking ourselves in confidence of both His provision and the rightness of the struggle.
God bless,
