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.

One of the greatest, most destructive, lies we are prone to believe is this; my disobedience is my choice and it does not affect anyone but me. It makes complete sense to me why Satan would want human beings to believe such things, in fact, this selfishness inside is the heart of the disobedience in the first place. We can turn a blind eye to the devastation we have contributed to in the lives of others all the while whistling this tune. There is no doubt Pharaoh is believing this lie at this point, he does not pay any attention to how his disobedience has caused complete devastation to the people of Egypt and his servants in particular. God has embedded fierce consequences into the life He designed, and He has given us clear instruction on where we can find the things that would bring these consequences if we were to disobey. The consequences are constant and they are comprehensive, impacting more than just the one person guilty of the disobedience. Many times, the people hurt the most are those closest to us. Perhaps it can simply be a matter of seeing clearly how we are impacting them to grab our attention, but unfortunately it could also take more difficult things to see what is going on clearly. Indeed, the whole land of Egypt is under siege because of the hard heart of one man, may we have the courage today to humble seek the Lord in our life to show us of how our own pride and selfishness impacts those around us. May we have the courage to fall before the Lord and humbly ask Him to transform our life, even if only for the benefit of those other people.

Yahweh is not even close to being finished distinguishing Himself from any other false God, or any other human being. The Pharaoh of Egypt has never faced anything nor anyone like our God. The one asking Pharaoh to let His people go, rules over all things. He is the Sovereign of the entire Universe. Yet here in the plague stories of Exodus, we see glimpses of how our God rules His universe, even to this day. There is a real, horrific, and deadly serious judgment that will become reality. It has to. In order for the righteous King to maintain his righteous standard He must judge sin entirely and correctly. Yet, because of the loving kindness of our God, this judgment will come only after moment after moment of patient grace comes first. Even for Pharaoh, and those like him, when God knows how hard his heart is, still moment after moment of grace and patience comes. This righteous Judge is, at this moment, displaying patient grace to sinners. He has sent His one and only begotten Son to save and redeem us through His crucifixion and resurrection. All who love and believe in the Son of God can, and will, be saved when they call out in faith and repentance. Now is not a time to ignore the saving work of God, nor is it a time for acting deceitfully toward God, playing games with his grace in order to profit for ourselves. Now is not a time to make a deal with God and compromise with Him in order to avoid total surrender. No, the only proper response this moment calls for is our honest and humble surrender to the One True God.
