Exodus 6:1-9
Before the days of Moses, God had revealed Himself to the Patriarchs as God Almighty (El Shaddai) . To Moses He reveals Himself as Lord (Yahweh).
This progression in God’s self-revelation should color the way we perceive Him. He is still the Almighty God (El Shaddai). While He is the God who cares for us (Yahweh).
He revealing Himself as Lord, God is saying to Moses and to us that:
1) He never changes
2) He cares about us
3) He desires a relationship with us
4) He desires to bless us
5) He is faithful to His promises
6) He will deliver us
Let this encourage each of us to wait on the Lord. He is our timeless. faithful companion. And when we understand His timeless, unchangeable nature, and His relational disposition, we can more patiently wait on Him with full assurance that His promises for us will surely come to pass!
