The Exodus
Today’s Reading & Focal Verse: Exodus 15:13a
You in Your mercy have led forth the people who You have redeemed.
God chose to bring you forth from a life in bondage to sin to a life of freedom, joy and eternal life. He could hear the cries of your heart loaded down under the weight of sin. He sent His Son to deliver you.
God preserved His people in Egypt for over 400 years but, as rulers changed, the Israelites became slaves. God heard their cries. He sent His servant to rescue His people from bondage. These same people would complain over and over again. They would say that they had been better off in Egypt, forgetting their harsh taskmasters there, and not seeing with what Love they were being sustained by now. God showed them mercy and grace even though they didn’t seem to realize at times that they needed it.
Do you look back at times to a life ruled by this world of sin and think you are missing something? Have you forgotten what a harsh taskmaster Satan was? Do you even see with what love God has been sustaining you?
God shows us mercy and grace, even though at times we don’t even seem to realize we need it.
If you have been looking back, perhaps you have lost your focus. Fix your eyes on Jesus and your relationship with Him. He will guide your heart into the joy of your freedom with Him.
