Village Seventh-day Adventist Church
God's timing and purpose often differ from our expectations, as demonstrated in Israel's journey from Egypt to Canaan. Before promising Abraham countless descendants, God first declared Himself as Abraham's greatest reward—a reminder that our relationship with God should be our primary focus. The 400-year slavery in Egypt served multiple divine purposes: giving the Amorites time to repent and preparing Israel spiritually. At Kadesh Barnea, most Israelites failed to trust God despite His previous miracles, focusing on obstacles rather than promises. God's ultimate purpose isn't merely to deliver us from bondage but to transform us into people who fully trust Him and reflect His character to the world.
