Exodus 6v13-7v7

Not a hoof is to be left behind! Moses knew that the LORD will save completely. His creation will once again be very good. And it is all because Jesus was willing to enter into a darkness that could be felt! May we be willing to walk with those who know times of darkness as we 'one another' in church life. And may we thank God that in Christ we will never experience that ultimate darkness!

The LORD is Sovereign - King over everything. What he says happens. He can command locusts. He wants us to see and know that. His judgment is very real. We can't bargain with God. His judgment fell upon Jesus and he is the only way we can and must be saved!

The earth is the LORD's. We don't need more proof to believe! We need new hearts. O pray for people you work with or meet with or loved ones to have their hearts softened. We are reminded of how Jesus was able to calm the storm. How patient God is. Today is a day to call upon him and be saved.

There is only one God. May we not be intimidated by powerful people and let's be hopeful. All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to Jesus. He commands us to go, so let's be bold and pray for him to open people's hearts. One day every knee will bow before King Jesus.

The LORD showed Pharaoh so clearly who he is. He outwitted the magicians on their home patch. But Pharaoah's heart was hard. How we need to pray for God to open people's hearts to the truth. We need to be like Moses and obey Jesus. What a lovely picture the plague of flies is of how the LORD delivers us from his judgment.

It happened just as the LORD said. It always does. We need to turn to God today and trust him today and serve him today. Prayer is a big deal. It impacts everything. Jesus has power over all things and he cries out on our behalf and is heard.

You can't take God on and win. He is the only God. Jesus has defeated the devil, the giant snake. He will judge the earth and it will be fair and right. Let's not harden our hearts, but let them be open to hear his voice and respond rightly.

Without Him we can do nothing. But all authority in heaven and on earth has been given to Jesus, therefore we must go with courage and boldness to make him known. One day everyone will know that Jesus is Lord and will say so!

The LORD says "I will" and he will because of who he is. He has given great and precious promises and he will keep them. Moses says "I can't" and it's true, he can't. But he will do it because he walks by faith. O may we follow the example of the Man of faith Jesus Christ who was confident in his resurrection. When what we see happening seems to contradict God's rule and his promises, may we have eyes to see the truth and keep going.

Satan is very real. How we need to pray for help against the one who hates Jesus and his church. Jesus is king of heaven's armies. Sin is a cruel master that enslaves and kills. May we see sin for what it is and know the freedom Jesus gives. Moses is so downhearted yet he brings his lament to the LORD. Let's learn from him. How good God is in walking with his people. In the end, Moses will be singing and in God's goodness we will all join in his song.
