EXodus

The life we live in Jesus Christ is filled with much joy and much pain. Times when things go as we planned and many times when they do not. One this is for sure God’s people can confidently say they are exactly where God wants them to be. He is working in it all.

The King of Egypt who did not know Joseph set out to throw every boy that is born to the Hebrews into the Nile. As we have discussed before, this is a totally devastating detail of the story and if it were to be the circumstances you and I were going through we would be brought to the point of despair for sure. I could not even imagine how we would respond as a church if there was ever an edict from the government that put the babies of our families lives in danger like this. Furthermore, child sacrifice is something detestable to the Lord, and at the same time it is practiced today, and has been practiced by sinful human beings from the beginning of civilization. Oh every Christian, pay attention! All followers of and worshippers of the One True God. Even in this exact situation of baby boys being thrown into the Nile River, the Israelites belonged to the one who is far greater in power, importance, and wisdom than the King of Egypt. Even though the enemy desires to kill, steal, and destroy, the Christ we worship and follow will always be more powerful to save, bring life, and give life to the full (John 10:10). God, the author of life, gave a son to the Levite and his Levite wife, God made the boy strong and “fine”, God provided for this baby boy even though he was left in the Nile River, God raised up a leader in Moses. Just like all the other leaders God used, the most important thing about Moses was that God was with him all the way! Such is the case for you and I as we walk this path of righteousness today.

We see a very different reality between Exodus 1:7 and Exodus 1:14. Most likely there are numerous decades in between these two verses but the stark difference in existence is drastic. Verse 7 speaks of abundance. It speaks of blessing, growth, and increase, but verse 14 speaks of bitterness, hard service, and ruthlessness. It is hard to believe that both of these verses refer to the same people. Perhaps it is even harder to believe that these people are indeed the nation belonging to God and His blessing. We build consistency in our devotion to the Lord when we follow Him at all times. We need consistency to carry us through the times of great hardship and because of our consistency during the times of great blessing and abundance we grow exponentially in the Word of God and in obedience of God. This is important because we are always one “change” away from facing times of hardship once more. In all of the turmoil where it seems nothing ever stays the same, there remains one thing that never changes, God and what He has spoken. Our God is faithful. He keeps his promises. There will never be a time when God fails to accomplish all that He wills to be done. Keep in mind brothers and sisters, the definition of God’s faithfulness is determined not by our comfort or desire but by his will and purposes. In the midst of all the chaos in Exodus 1, we notice that for the first time Israel is called “a people.” Step one in God honoring his promise to Abraham. Hang in there, God is faithful, and that will never change.
