 God, as he always does, heard their prayers and answered them. He needed to wait, however, until the time was right. It was a long time in coming, but God answered their prayers by sending them Moses. God used Moses to get his people out of Egypt. They were now freed from under the oppression of the Egyptian forces. They were now on their way to the promised land. They seemed to be at the end of the end of their days. End of story, right?
