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.

Do you ever feel weak, outmatched, or unsure where real strength is supposed to come from?

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

at a time.

In this episode, Paul walks through Exodus 7 to show where Moses found his courage and how

that very same source of hope and strength is available to us right now.

Here's Paul, teaching from Exodus 7.

This vignette is all about where to go for hope and strength when you're facing something big

that you neither have the wisdom or the strength to face.

Yeah. that you neither have the wisdom or the strength to face. This is Exodus 7, 1 through 7, and I've titled this, Where Do You Look for Hope and Strength?

And the Lord said to Moses, see, I've made you like a God to Pharaoh, and your brother Aaron shall be your prophet.

You shall speak all that I command you, and your brother Aaron shall tell Pharaoh to let the

people of Israel go out of his land. But I will harden Pharaoh's heart. And though I multiply my

signs and wonders in the land of Egypt, Pharaoh will not listen to you. Then I will lay my hand on

Egypt and bring my host, my people of children of Israel out of the land of Egypt

by great acts of judgment. The Egyptians shall know that I am the Lord when I stretch

out my hand against Egypt and bring out the people of Israel from among them.

Moses and Aaron did so. They did justice as the Lord commanded them. Now Moses was 80

years old and Aaron 83 years old when they spoke to Pharaoh.

Well, when you're facing something hard, where do you look for hope and strength?

Do you look to your track record, assessing how you've done in tough situations before?
