Sometimes our deliverance involves being immersed in circumstances that expose the powerlessness of other “gods” – ”gods” that we’re tempted to put our trust in.

Exodus 6:6-7 (NIV)
“Therefore, say to the Israelites: ‘I am the Lord, and I will bring you out from under the yoke of the Egyptians. I will free you from being slaves to them, and I will redeem you with an outstretched arm and with mighty acts of judgement. I will take you as my own people, and I will be your God. Then you will know that I am the Lord your God, who brought you out from under the yoke of the Egyptians.’”

Exodus 6:6 (NIV)
“… I will redeem you with an outstretched arm … .”
