"God, what do You want me to hear as I read Exodus?"
"Hear this above all: I will do whatever it takes to carry out My plan!"
The book of Exodus may possibly be one of my favorite books of the Bible. Starting where Genesis left off, so begins the nail-biting sequel to the story of the Israelites.
It's here we are introduced to Moses and watch him grow up under the adopted care of the Pharaoh, as a prince of Egypt. It's here we watch the Lord use him for His glory in his old age. Moses represents God before the Pharaoh, bringing plagues upon Egypt like lice, frogs, locusts, and eventually the death of every first born son, which makes way for their exodus.
A Few Questions to Ponder
Which part of the Exodus story is your favorite?
Have you seen God part the Red Sea in your life?
Did it surprise you when the Israelites grew impatient waiting for Moses on Mount Sinai and created a golden calf to worship?

ReplyDeleteTwo pages???? That is it Mr. Crabb?
In Paul's book 'The Liquid Bible' he makes a good point; Exodus is about God's power, presence and provision. They took 40 years for an 11 day journey and a whole generation missed out on the future God planned for them, don't miss out.
Best chapter 33... the Tent of Meeting and the Glory of the Lord. "If Your Presence does not go with us, do not send us up from here."
