God of Promises

Moses must be feeling good after gathering the elders of Israel, telling them of Yahweh's impending deliverance, and seeing them respond in worship. But Pharaoh has different plans. He doesn't acknowledge Yahweh, he accuses the Hebrews of laziness, and he doubles their workload. The people groan to Moses in despair, and he openly accuses God of evil. God's response is to say, "Step back and watch what I do next – for I AM a covenant keeping God."
