Good Morning “True Repenters”.  Today we are in Exodus 9.  God continues to bring more plagues.  Pharaoh refuses to truly relent.  Gods power is displayed to His people.  These plagues continue to foreshadow plagues of the Tribulation.  Pharaoh like unbelievers in the Tribulation never repents.The Lord instructs Moses to go and warm Pharaoh.  Let my people go or I will bring a plague on all the li...  Read More

Good Morning “Blessed With an Intercessor - Jesus.”  Today we are in Exodus 8.Moses continues as God instructs.  With each plague, God mocks the false gods of Egypt. They had gods for literally everything.  Either gods that they believe produced, or gods that protected.  From the plague of blood, God moves to a plague of frogs.  We see the Egyptian magicians copy this plague as well, but things ar...  Read More

Good Morning “Discerners of What You See.”  Today we are in Exodus 7.  Hidden within Moses description of the 1st Judgment upon Egypt is a lesson for us to grab on to.  God is all powerful!  In control of all things!  No question!  He created Satan with the rest of the angels and made him quite powerful.  Within his power is the ability to replicate miracles, for this time at least.  We see it her...  Read More

Good Morning “Thankful Witnesses to Gods Promises.”  Today we are in Exodus chapter 6.  Moses continues his discussion with God.  As we’ve been reading, have you found yourself THANKFUL that God has given us so much to bolster our faith?  Or rather, have you marveled at the faith of the Patriarchs on down to Moses when they had so little to go on?  Hebrews 1 explains my point. “God, after He spoke...  Read More

Good Morning “Discouraged.”  Today we are in Exodus 5.  Have you ever felt like you were doing what you were supposed to be doing, living the way you were supposed to be living, according to Gods Word - but things weren’t good?  Maybe you’ve been in the process of serving Him in some way and it just didn’t go the way you expected.  Things didn’t go as Moses had apparently imagined they would eithe...  Read More

Good Morning “Those Who Doubt Gods Ability to Work Through You.”  Today we are in Exodus 4.  Moses continues with his line of questioning and God continues to answer and give Moses proofs.  He even performs 3 miracles and gives Moses the ability to perform them as proof to the nation of Israel, and proof to Pharaoh.  Moses continues his objections by saying he’s not a good speaker.  Gods anger bur...  Read More

Good Morning “Willing, Ready and Able to be Used by God.”  Today we are in Exodus 3.The time has come.  God is ready to free the nation of Israel from the oppression of Pharaoh and Egypt.  He could do it all on His own, supernaturally - but He chooses to invite Moses to be the tool.  He comes to Moses in physical form, Fire - burning in a bush.  It’s clear this is no ordinary burning bush because ...  Read More

Good Morning “Waiting on Gods Timing.”  Today we are in Exodus 2.  Moses is born.  The orig text suggests Moses mother knew he was special to Gods plan.  When he is 3 months old his mother is concerned she can no longer hide him.  Pharaoh and his people are still killing all the Hebrew boys. His mothers would rather he live with someone else than to die with her.  She puts him in an arc or basket ...  Read More

Good Morning “Trusters of Gods Sovereignty.” Today we begin the book of Exodus - a literal story of Gods sovereignty.  Chapter 1The nation of Israel, all the descendants of Jacob, are in Egypt.  A new Pharaoh comes into power.  In order to understand why the treatment of Israel changed we need a little Egyptian history.  The pharaoh that Joseph served under that welcomed Israel was a product of th...  Read More

Good Morning “Those Who Hold No Grudge.”  Today we finish the Book of Genesis with chapter 50.Jacob is dead, and Joseph has promised to bury him in the promised land with their ancestors.  Joseph knows the journey is long so he orders physicians to embalm him.  It’s interesting to note here that embalming was typically done by Egyptian Priests, but Joseph, demonstrating further obedience to God; o...  Read More

Good Morning “Intent on Receiving Gods Blessing.”  Jacob / Israel is about to die - so as was customary he draws his sons and begins to bless them.  The Lord spoke prophetically through the patriarchs in that day.  Rather than proceeding in birth order Israel addresses each son according to their birth mother.  Despite Israel’s blessing Joseph with the “double portion” through his sons, Joseph is ...  Read More

Good Morning “Submitting to The Word of The Lord.”  Today we are in Genesis Chapter 48.  At first glance this chapter can be confusing.  It’s confusing because we’ve already become accustomed to the way things are done as it relates to their culture and the time.  We do the same thing with our culture dont we?  When God moves in a way that contradicts cultural acceptance we’re often frozen in our ...  Read More
