Each of the plagues gets to a new level. In plague 3 the magicians and sorcerer's could no longer mimic or duplicate. In plague 4 which we breach but do not go fully into this time, the plagues will no longer reach the people of God. God is The Lord God and He is reminding the Israelites as He informs the Egyptians.

The rich man said I am going to make my barks bigger to hold all my riches. But God said, tonight will your soul be required of you, then who will all this belong too.

Seek ye first the kingdom of God and His Righteousness and all these things shall be added unto you.

Moses and aaron are going to Pharaoh in the Might and power of God Almighty. This is where He shows the He is The Lord.

Moses goes before Pharaoh and he is disrespected as is the Lord. The people are paying the price of Moses' request to go three days into the wilderness to sacrifice.

Moses failed to circumcise his 2nd son, he failed to follow the covenant. God is angry and wants Moses dead, for how can Moses lead if he himself does not follow God's commands? God is very serious about His men being in compliance with Him and His Will, His Word.

The demon possessed man of the Gaderenes, filled with a legion of demons meets Jesus. A deaf and dumb man meets Jesus. They were never the same for they met the One who changes lives, changes hearts and fills the emptiness of your soul.

He says "Come unto me all ye that labor and are heavy laden and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn of me, and I will give rest unto your souls".

Jesus shows up in a burning bush to a man that is content, living life and for all he knows done with the world he knew 40 years ago. Moses is content, God however has other plans.

As we start the Book of Exodus 2 things stand out. 

1. The New King of Egypt forgot Joseph.

2. The MidWives stood up to an unlawful order and obeyed God rather than man.

Regret can be a paralyzing fear, a fear where you see no future or a fear where you fail to make a decision for fear you will make the same bad decision, bad choice time and again.

But it doesn't have to, regret can be a source of renewal not just of pain.

Samuel returns Israel to the Worship of the Lord God Jehovah, there is a time of peace but his time comes to an end. The people demand a king, Samuel hurt and rejected prays and God says, It is not you they have rejected me, but me.

Is Israel really any different than you or I?
