Exodus 6:1-5

"Now you will see what I will do ..." Moses was quite understandably rather downcast about the situation, but God knew what He was doing, and now He would demonstrate His power. If you are in a situation where it seems that God has let you down, or is not doing anything, do not despair, you may be about to see God's power at work in a way you never imagined.
See now how things develop. Before the release of power, there is the new revelation of God to Moses. See that there is continual revelation. The incident of the burning bush was only the start of God's revelation to Moses. No matter how dramatic (or undramatic, for that matter) conversion experience, or subsequent experiences of God we have had, there is always more.
See also, that although Moses is receiving new revelation, what God is going to do is based on two other things as well: (i) the promises He made in the past to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob; and (ii) His current concern for the people. God's revelation to you will not be the only reason He is acting, His concern and vision goes way beyond you. God's plan for your life involves much more than just you. It has a place in history (both what has gone before, and what is yet to come), and His plans for other people.
