Day 9 -- Moses and the Burning Bush
Scripture Passage -- Exodus 3:1-10
Yesterday, we were with Joseph in Egypt. Today, we find the Israelites still in Egypt, where they've been enslaved to the Egyptians for hundreds of years. (The Israelites had prospered once they arrived in Egypt, so the jealous Egyptians eventually enslaved them.) God's people have been crying out for deliverance from this slavery, and God, who is still continuing to work his redemption plan, has heard and felt compassion for them. He appears to Moses in the form of the burning bush and promises to deliver His people. (Be sure and point out verse 6, in which God refers to Himself as the "God of your father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.")
Key Passage: Exodus 3:7-8 -- "I am concerned about their suffering. So I have come down to resuce them." (again, a foreshadowing of the larger redemption story!:)
