An Abiding Hope:
The Presence of God
in Exodus and
Deuteronomy
by Janice Catron
Suggestions for Leaders
by Martha Sadongei
remember that the central actor in human experience — in our own lives and in the experiences described in
Exodus and Deuteronomy—is God. Our God is one
who redeems, who brings liberty and fulfillment even
when we do not deserve it, when we cannot redeem
ourselves. We have the assurance of God’s abiding
presence as individuals and as a community of faith.
This presence helps us see that God’s redemption is more than a “saving from” harsh circumstances; it also is a
“saving to” the fullness of life God intends for humanity.
