1. We can be bold in the love of God (1-4)

God wanted Moses to record the stages in their journey. God heard the cries of his people. He delivered them from slavery. The Israelites marched out defiantly in full view of the Egyptians, confident in the love of God, and knowing they were being led by God. Moses documented these events. God's grace is continually being poured out on us. Reflecting on the stages in our spiritual journey is a way to be strong in the grace of God.

2. God upheld his people (5-49)

They were led through a harsh desert and passed through the Red Sea. God provided springs in unlikely spots. There were times of testing. God provided dedicated leaders. God went on before them, planting fear in their enemies so they could even camp in full view of them. They made progress as they placed their faith in the Lord. Such is the character of our life with God.
