Exodus

Exodus 3:7,8 And Jehovah said, I have surely seen the affliction of My people who are in Egypt and have heard their cry because of their taskmasters, for I know their sorrows.And I have come down to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians and to bring them up out of that land to a good and spacious land, to a land flowing with milk and honey, to the place of the Canaanites and the Hittites and the Amorites and the Perizzites and the Hivites and the Jebusites.

The enlightenment the Lord gave me today was the matter of exodus from Egypt. We all were born in Egypt and grew up in Egypt. Our beginning is from the world, and we grow up in the world. Therefore, every one needs deliverance. Not merely being save from eternal perdition, but also being saved from many sinful and worldly things of the day to day affair, 'the working out of our daily salvation:

Philippians 2:12So then, my beloved, even as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only but now much rather in my absence, work out your own⁴ salvation with fear and trembling;

---

12⁴ Not eternal salvation from God's condemnation and from the lake of fire but the daily salvation that is a living Person. This daily salvation results from taking the very Christ whom we live, experience, and enjoy as our inward as well as outward pattern. The main elements of this salvation are Christ as the crucified life (vv. 5-8) and Christ in His exaltation (vv. 9-11). When this pattern becomes the believers' inward life, the pattern becomes their salvation. Only this would make the apostle's joy full.
In ch. 1 salvation comes through the bountiful supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ, but here salvation comes from the operating God within us. The operating God is actually the Spirit of Jesus Christ. In both these cases salvation is a practical, daily, moment-by-moment salvation. The constant salvation in 1:19 is one in which a particular believer is saved from a specific encounter in a particular situation; whereas the constant salvation in 2:12 is one in which any believer is saved from ordinary things in common situations in his daily living.

Even though after having believed into the Lord for many years, still something of the world is still in us. Until "that day" no one can claim complete deliverance from the world without any traces of it, as long as one is in the flesh and blood in this world. But there is a way out of this world!

In Exodus 3:7 and 8, the initiator of deliverance is Jehovah Himself. He has been watching His children and cares for their welfare. "I have surely seen the afflication of My people," was what He said, "and heard their cry." The Israelite have for sure been crying out to Jehovah for deliverance. And in time, Jehovah came to deliver them out, "I have come down to deliver them." And the goal of His deliverance is "to bring them into the good and spacious land."

This is our experiences today. All of us have been under some kind of bandage of the other. Perhaps, some big and serious, while others are small and silly. Still bondage is bondage. In spite of being ardent lover of the Lord, and serious seeker too, still somewhere there is a need for deliverance. Some thing of "a thorn in the flesh" is still there." 

For this complete salvation, there  is need to cry out to Jehovah for deliverance. This is our cooperation with the Lord's work of salvation in us. In ourselves, we cannot overcome, but in the Lord, we for sure can. In looking to the Lord and calling upon His name, the Lord responses and works in the environment, to deliver us completely. It is "by strength of hand Jehovah brought us out from Egypt, from the slave house." Exodus 13:3, 14.

This is how we experience the Lord's complete salvation, not for us merely to escape the corruption of the world, but to enter into the "to a good and spacious land, to a land flowing with milk and honey," the church life for the building up of the house of God.  

Call and cry out to Jehovah, He will deliver in time.
