"I have seen the misery .." The Lord has seen what has been happening to His people and has heard their cry. So often we think that God ignores our cry or is oblivious to our pleading, but this is not true. We can also forget that He is aware of other people's suffering as well. But God does see, and God is aware. We need to understand this, and for two very good reasons. First, He is never oblivious to our plight, Jesus said that every hair on our head is counter. God knows your circumstances right now, and He cares for you. Secondly, He will use us to help others, and some of His guidance and direction in our lives will be so that He can bring His salvation to others. In fact most of His direction and guidance will be motivated by this.
So God says He has come down to rescue the people and to take them into a good and spacious land. This is God's purpose for our lives.
Then in verse 10 we come to the most amazing thing, "So now go, I am sending you". When God comes down to rescue a people He usually works through people, including you and me. And just think again about Moses' situation. His life seems to have been a failure, he seems to be going nowhere, but God comes down and all his past failure means nothing to God, it is no problem to Him. Understand the ways of the Lord.
