Exodus 6:28-7:7

28 On the day when the Lord spoke to Moses in the land of Egypt, 29 the Lord said to Moses, “I am the Lord; tell Pharaoh king of Egypt all that I say to you.” 30 But Moses said to the Lord, “Behold, I am of uncircumcised lips. How will Pharaoh listen to me?”
7 And the Lord said to Moses, “See, I have made you like God to Pharaoh, and your brother Aaron shall be your prophet. 2 You shall speak all that I command you, and your brother Aaron shall tell Pharaoh to let the people of Israel go out of his land. 3 But I will harden Pharaoh's heart, and though I multiply my signs and wonders in the land of Egypt, 4 Pharaoh will not listen to you. Then I will lay my hand on Egypt and bring my hosts, my people the children of Israel, out of the land of Egypt by great acts of judgment. 5 The Egyptians shall know that I am the Lord, when I stretch out my hand against Egypt and bring out the people of Israel from among them.” 6 Moses and Aaron did so; they did just as the Lord commanded them. 7 Now Moses was eighty years old, and Aaron eighty-three years old, when they spoke to Pharaoh.

From the call of Abraham (Genesis 12) onward, the Lord has made His plan clear: one is chosen for the purpose of blessing the many.

Here, the Lord explains His plan to Moses yet again, and reminds Moses that there is more at stake than just the Israelites’ freedom: the Lord is also seeking to instruct the Egyptians.

The Egyptians shall know that I am the Lord, when I stretch out my hand against Egypt and bring out the people of Israel from among them. [7:5]

What this teaches me is that there is always more at stake than I can see.

You have no idea what hangs in the balance today. Be faithful; the Lord will use your faithfulness to bless and instruct others.

How cool is that?!
