  • September 11 – Exodus 14:15-20

    It’s sometimes hard to understand fear.  Think

    of a time your children were frightened. 
    It may not have made sense to you, but you were there to console,
    comfort and offer support.  God does the
    same.  Frankly, I think,  “how ridiculous the Israelites acted having
    just been freed from the Egyptians in a miraculous way and then suffering what
    seemed to be amnesia, not trusting or having faith in God’s promise.”

     

    Oh but, how often am I just like the Israelites? 

    How often do I fail to recall how good God has been to me?  How often do I fail to thank God for His
    extraordinary love?

     

    Reflect on how God has provided for you time and time again and thank Him today for his

    grace, love, mercy and unfailing love. 

     

    So God acted as a buffer between the Israelites

    and the Egyptians. He moved from the guiding position into a position of
    protection, just as we do for our children when they struggle with fear. He
    provided light for the Israelites and darkness for the Egyptians. He did the
    same for us when He sent His Son, Jesus, to die for us on the cross. Jesus
    saved us from our sin, eminent death and a torturous life in hell. The
    Israelites had to have faith in God and how God directed their leader, Moses.
    We, too, must have faith in God and depend on His direction to guide us and not
    allow fear to keep us from following Him. 
    The Israelites had to do their part in preparing for the battles God
    would send their way. We, too, are called to fight battles for the Lord on a
    daily basis. How do we prepare for the battles we face? Are we putting on the
    whole armor of God that we may be able to stand against the schemes of the
    devil? Are we wearing the helmet of salvation and carrying the shield of faith?
    Do we allow the Holy Spirit to guide us through our conversations with God as
    we pray daily? God loves us and protects us but He does expect us to do our
    part.

  • September 9 – Exodus 14:1-9

    Oh Pharaoh, you are so fickle and quick to forget God’s wrath.  It didn’t take long for Pharaoh to question

    his decision to release the Israelites.  So
    now we see an army preparing to attack and take back the Israelites who were encamped
    by the sea in the wilderness. 

    Although Pharaoh wasn’t a child of God, we can learn much from his actions.  How are we sometimes like fickle Pharaoh and

    change our mind back and forth on what we should do?

     

    What does that say about your faith?

     

    Do you trust God’s plan or will for your life? 

     

    How do you discern God’s plan?

  • September 8 – Exodus 13:17-22

    These verses share how God went before the Israelites.  He continues daily to go before us as

    well. 

     

    How have you witnessed God going before you? 

     

    How are you comforted to know that God watches over you and is already in your

    situations?

     

    Recall a time or times when without hesitation you know that God went before you.

  • September 7 – Exodus 13:11-16

    These verses share sacrifice, redemption, praise for God’s faithfulness, and an

    urgency to share the testimony of God’s fulfilled promise to free the
    Israelites with their children. 

     

    I recently read a quote saying, “tell your children about Jesus, so Satan doesn’t

    share his lies about the world.”  Are you
    sharing the urgency of Christ’s sacrifice so we might have eternal life with
    your children, grandchildren, nieces, nephews, cousins, community, etc.?  Think about ways to share Christ with
    others.  What has Christ done for
    you?  How are you able to face life’s
    burdens, heartbreaks or even joys because you have Christ in your life? 

     

    How can you become a Christian?  There is

    urgency… there will come a day when there are no more chances to make that
    decision. 

    For those who know Jesus, we need to share Christ, shine Christ’s light and fall in

    love with Him more each day.     

    If you have questions about how to become a Christian and follow Jesus, please

    call or text Lori at 918-344-5656 and one of the ministry team will get back
    with you as soon as possible.

  • September 6 – Exodus 13:1-10

    We find these verses are the beginning of instructions for a new nation.  God shares that the firstborn whether human

    or animal is to be consecrated to Him. 
    It also served as a reminder that firstborns were His.  Israel was God’s firstborn, firstborn was
    thought to be the best, and finally that God redeemed His firstborn, Israel,
    from Egypt.  In verses 3-7 we read about
    the Feast of the Unleavened Bread.  And
    verses 8-10 were to remind the Israelites to tell their children why these
    things were done.

     

    Indeed, these verses do share God’s instructions. 

    Do you think  God had expectations
    for the Israelites to carry out these instructions?  Is this also a matter of obedience?  Throughout this chapter we will see God
    directing the Israelites, Moses and Aaron again and again with expectation of
    obedience. 

     

    Does God ask for our obedience?  Are there

    areas in your life where Holy Spirit is urging you to become more obedient to
    God’s calling? 

     

    Pray that God will help you as you seek discernment and a life of obedience to our

    Lord and Savior.

  • September 5 – Exodus 12:43-51

    These scriptures share God’s laws and rules that were to be followed in order to

    partake of the Passover.  The chapter
    concludes by noting that the Israelites and those participating in the Passover
    did indeed observe and follow the command of the Lord; and were brought out of
    Egypt on that very day.  Passover was to
    remind the Israelites of the coming of Christ who would become the sacrificial
    Lamb.  After Jesus’ crucifixion, the
    Savior himself fulfilled the law.

     

    Gratitude and hope come to my mind when I think of Passover.  The hope of Jesus and the gratitude of His

    obedience to the cross that allowed us to be children of God, should cause me
    to glorify God in all my ways.  And yet,
    I find myself falling short everyday. 
    How do you glorify God?  What
    areas of your life find you struggling to glorify God?  Join me in prayer as we ask our Heavenly
    Father to deepen our walk with Him and help us to become more humble, less
    prideful, slow to anger, exhibiting a controlled tongue, extinguishing
    unbecoming thoughts, more selfless and a true servant as we share our Christian
    witness.

  • September 4 – Exodus 12:40-42

    After exactly to the day, four hundred, thirty years of living in Egypt under

    slavery, brutality, hunger, watching loved ones beaten, tortured, and die, and
    now the Israelites are FREE!   The Lord had kept vigil, guarded, and
    protected them that first Passover night to bring them out safely.  Not one hand was laid on the Israelites.  They were obedient to the instructions they
    received from God through Moses and Aaron. They walked out freely with God protecting
    the exodus of the Israelites as He actively guarded them to safe passage. The
    Israelites honored and praised the Lord for their deliverance that night and
    for generations to come. 

     

    Do you find yourself a slave to anything in life? 

    Perhaps you find yourself bound by your job, house, children, friends, or even your

    church.  

    Has God changed?  Absolutely not! 

    Thank God that He is actively keeping vigil over you and ask Him to free you from

    any bondage in which you are trapped. 
    He’s ready, willing, and anxiously waiting to hear you.

  • September 3 – Exodus 12:37-39

    Think of the shear dynamics of moving 600,000 men plus women, children, multitudes of

    other people, livestock, flocks, and herds with their departure…their exodus. 

     

    What are some questions that loom in your mind regarding their hasty departure and

    journey in the wilderness? 

    What prayers do you think they cried out to God? 

    Were they filled with wonder? 

    Do you think joy or fear gripped them?

     

    Who do you think were the mixed multitudes?  Maybe those who had been touched by God’s

    people and their faith, or maybe some who had somehow become slaves, although
    not Jewish, and took this chance to leave Egypt?

     

    Try to imagine yourself as a sojourner with the Israelites.  Sometimes we’re called to situations with

    little guidance, direction, and few answers. 
    How do you handle these situations? 
    Do you turn to God and ask Him to strengthen your trust and faith?

    Do you worry about the future and what’s to come? 

     

    Pray that God will equip you for life situations and that you will fully trust Him

    as He guides you through your earthly life.

  • September 2 – Exodus 12:33-36

    September 2 – Exodus 12:33-36

    The Egyptians were urgent with the people to send them out of the land in haste.

    For they said, “We shall all be dead.”  The people took their dough before
    it was leavened, their kneading bowls being bound up in their cloaks on their
    shoulders.   The people of Israel had also done as Moses told them,
    for they had asked the Egyptians for silver and gold jewelry and for
    clothing.   And the LORD had given the people favor in the sight
    of the Egyptians, so that they let them have what they asked. Thus they
    plundered the Egyptians.

     

    How quickly things changed for Pharaoh, the Egyptians, and the Israelites.  These verses share how the Egyptians were

    URGENT in sending out the Israelites because they feared they too would
    die.  God indeed blessed the Israelites
    with silver, gold, clothes, and items to sustain them.  He recognized their obedience, and the
    scripture says He showed them favor.

     

    Change…how quickly life can change with us also. 

    Think of a time when life caught you by surprise with a sudden
    change.  Did you find yourself reacting on
    bended knees and calling out to God for help? 
    Or did you find yourself lost, wondering how you’d manage life as you
    tried to navigate forward? Matthew 28:20 says, “For lo, I am with you always”.  This was Jesus’ promise to us.

    www.christianity.com>bible says, “He is with

    us always through the presence of the Holy Spirit.  Jesus is constantly and fully present with
    us.  We are blessed to know that not only
    is He with us, but He also lives in us and works through us.” 

     

    How can you let Jesus live through you even in the midst of sudden unexpected life

    changing experiences?

  • September 1 - Exodus 12: 29-32

    September 1 - Exodus 12: 29-32

    At midnight the LORD struck down all the firstborn in the land of

    Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh who sat on his throne to the
    firstborn of the captive who was in the dungeon, and all the firstborn of the
    livestock.   And Pharaoh rose up in the night, he and all his
    servants and all the Egyptians. And there was a great cry in Egypt, for
    there was not a house where someone was not dead.   Then he summoned
    Moses and Aaron by night and said, “Up, go out from among my people, both
    you and the people of Israel; and go, serve the LORD, as you have
    said.   Take your flocks and your herds, as you have said, and be
    gone, and bless me also!”

     

    I can not fathom the horror of this event that took place at midnight in these

    scriptures at God’s hand.   As we reflect
    on these verses, we can take joy and comfort in the fact that God’s promises
    are true and unfailing.  Yet what a price
    Pharaoh and the Egyptians paid for Pharaoh’s selfishness, pride and brutality
    over the people of Israel. 

     

    Do you suffer from selfishness, pride, harshness or unkindness?  How do these attributes affect others around

    you…your family, your friends, your workplace, your church, your Christian
    witness?  Pray today that God will begin
    a work in you to bring forth humility, kindness, and selflessness in your
    character.
