26 It was this same Aaron and Moses to whom the LORD said, “Bring the Israelites out of Egypt by their divisions.” This verse follows a short listing of family connections. Moses and Aaron are not in Egypt at this moment. They are about to arrive in Egypt and talk to Pharaoh. The writer wantsContinue reading “26Jan2009 Exodus 6:26”

12 But Moses said to the LORD, “If the Israelites will not listen to me, why would Pharaoh listen to me, since I speak with faltering lips?” Moses has been obedient to the Lord. He went and told his own people, the Israelites, about the Lord’s plan of deliverance. His message was not warmly received.Continue reading “25Jan2009 Exodus 6:12”

9 Moses reported this to the Israelites, but they did not listen to him because of their discouragement and cruel bondage. Discouragement can be crippling. It can deafen you to great news.

6 “Therefore, say to the Israelites: ‘I am the LORD, and I will bring you out from under the yoke of the Egyptians.

You know the kind of task where you just want to say out loud, “This is stupid!” YouContinue reading “21Jan2009 Exodus 5:10”

2 Pharaoh said, “Who is the LORD, that I should obey him and let Israel go? I do not know the LORD and I will not let Israel go.” This is the question of the non-believer today. They don’t know the Lord, so therefore don’t know His power. If they did, they would surrender immediately.Continue reading “20Jan2009 Exodus 5:2”

31 and they believed. And when they heard that the LORD was concerned about them and had seen their misery, they bowed down and worshiped. So many times when people are in distress I hear them say that God doesn’t care, that He must not know the misery that is taking place. We can feelContinue reading “19Jan2009 Exodus 4:31”

11 The LORD said to him, “Who gave man his mouth? Who makes him deaf or mute? Who gives him sight or makes him blind? Is it not I, the LORD? 12 Now go; I will help you speak and will teach you what to say.” When God calls us to do something, He willContinue reading “18Jan2009 Exodus 4:11-12”

1Moses answered, “What if they do not believe me or listen to me and say, ‘The LORD did not appear to you’?” Self-confidence is something that many people struggle with. Today we call it self-esteem.
