Born out of obedience, the Exodus began the moment Moses slipped off his shoes in the wilderness. Of course, freedom tends to follow obedience. Exiting Egypt presents neglected truths in compelling ways. Being a story of transformation, the text highlights micro-adjustments made in submission to God, which remade a hesitant exile into the legendary law giver. As Moses allowed himself to be changed, a nation was freed. Moses was not called to work miracles. He was called to listen, obey, and watch what God would do. The promise of the Exodus stands. Freedom waits. Listen. Obey. Watch and see what God will do to transform lives and free captives desperate to exit their own Egypts.
