Welcome to the Paul Tripp podcast, where pastor and best-selling author Paul David Tripp connects the transforming power of Jesus Christ to everyday life.

Have you ever doubted God's goodness because you couldn't see how things would work out?

Today, we continue our year-long Bible study in the book of Exodus, the gospel

one rescue at a time. In this episode, Paul teaches from Exodus 4, 27 through 31 to remind

us that when God calls, he also guides and provides, unleashing his power and grace for those

who follow him by faith. Now here's Paul, teaching from Exodus 4.

Listen, we panic with a lot less circumstances than Israel is facing. We doubt God's goodness in teeny little moments of life, not comparable to what these people went through for 420 years.

Well, we are in Exodus 4, 27 through 31, and my title for our study is,

The Lord guides, the Lord provides.

The Lord said to Aaron, go into the wilderness to meet Moses, so he went and met him at the

mountain of God and kissed him. And Moses told Aaron

all the words of the Lord with which he had sent him to speak and all the signs that he commanded

him to do. Then Moses and Aaron went and gathered together all the elders of the people of Israel.

Aaron spoke all the words that the Lord had spoken to Moses and did the signs in the sight of the people of Israel. Aaron spoke all the words that the Lord had spoken to Moses

and did the signs and the sight of the people.

And the people believed.

And when they heard that the Lord had visited the people of Israel

and that he had seen their affliction,

they bowed their heads and worshipped.

I don't know about you,

but I am so often ready to give way in my heart and mind

to the what-ifs and the if-onlys.
