365 Key Chapters of the Bible: Exodus 7
Do not be like Pharaoh and let your heart become hardened by the things of God.
Do not be like Pharaoh and let your heart become hardened by the things of God.
God is faithful. Sometimes it takes us coming to the end of our rope to realize that we need to trust and lean into to the One Who does not fail.
Sometimes things don’t go exactly as we imagine them going. However, God is faithful. We must trust and hope in Him, looking to Him alone for the provision of the Good.
The failure and stubbornness of people in the past didn’t prevent God accomplishing His purposes, and it wasn’t going to stop Him now. Moses self-perceived deficiencies did not matter. If God calls you to a purpose, He will equip you for it.
After 40 years of preparation in the wilderness, God commissions Moses to lead his people out of Egypt.
In an amazing turn of events, God sovereignly guided the process to preserve Moses’ life. It would be through Moses that God would deliver his people from bondage.
Exodus 1 describes how the children of Israel came to be oppressed by the Egyptians. However, God did not abandon them and was with them during their bondage.
After the Israelites were delivered from the hand of the Egyptians and they were waiting to enter the Promised Land, God, through Moses, taught them how to live in their newfound freedom. These principles, summarized in the Ten Commandments, still have a profound impact on the world today.
The exodus of the Israelites out of Egypt and into the Promised Land was as much about the process as it was about the outcome; the same can be said of our life journeys, because God is not just taking us somewhere, but He’s making us someone in the process: a people for His own possession, for His own glory.
