As we spend the next 40 days taking a journey thru Exodus, focusing on our "slavery" to "freedom" in Christ, we want to focus on each chapter and share out thoughts with each other.
Exodus 1:8 - it hit me today that the new king over Egypt did not know Joseph, and more specifically, did not know or care about Joseph's God. How unique that we find ourselves in the same mindset today, where we have a generation that doesn't know or care about Creator God and things are messy. It is a lot like the Israelites and what they faced in their day with this new king. Let's be praying today for a generation to KNOW about our God which causes them to CARE for people and to LOVE HIM!
Ex 1:8 Then a new king, to whom Joseph meant nothing, came to power in Egypt...The best things that we do, our amazing accomplishments and moments that others notice, really don't matter and will be forgotten. It's what we do for God's kingdom that will have an eternal impact. "Our glory is too small a thing to live for." -Andy Stanley
ReplyDeleteI was most impressed by the courage of the midwives. It could not have been easy to defy pharoah. While not mentioned here, I'm sure it took great faith in God to deny pharoah & lie to him. In trusting God, how many generations of Israelites did they save?
ReplyDeleteI thought the same thing as Molly. How brave and strong they were to deny pharaoh's command.
