‘Meet the Lord God who has it all under control’ (Exodus 1:1-2:10)

The book of Exodus, continues the story of God’s sovereign control over all things, especially the plan to save His people, Israel. It begins in Exodus 1:1-2:10 with the people of Israel in slavery in Egypt, struggling under the weight of the burdens laid upon them by Pharaoh, whose evil designs were to bring the people of Israel to nothing. But God had a plan (as he always does) and through the faithful witness of the Hebrew midwives and an a young un-named couple, a baby named Moses entered the scene, destined to be the redeemer of God’s people.
