Daily Devotions

The Passover is to be a yearly celebration. When future generations ask about its meaning, fathers will tell how the Lord’s mighty hand brought the people out of bondage. Let Christian fathers today earnestly pass down the great and liberating truths of God’s Word to their children.

BibleGateway: Exodus 13 ESV Text: Exodus 13 KJV Text: Exodus 13:1-22 KJV Text (alt. audio): Chapter 13:      1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 2 Sanctify unto me all the firstborn, whatsoever openeth the… 

Lamb’s blood painted on the frame of the door saves the life of the firstborn within that house. As firstborn Egyptians die throughout the land, Pharaoh relents. God’s people are finally free. Yet the blood of Jesus, the Lamb of God, has won a far greater freedom for sinful man.

The last of ten plagues will bring about the death of every firstborn son in Egypt. Noteworthy is that the Lord hardens Pharaoh’s heart. When a person perpetually hardens his heart against the Lord, it may lead to the terrible judgment of the Lord hardening that person’s heart. “Lord, keep us steadfast in Thy Word!”

A plague of locusts is followed by total darkness. After all the wonders he saw, how sad that Pharaoh remained in the darkness of unbelief. Like Pharaoh, many today are in spiritual darkness. Stir us up, Lord, so we will bring the saving light of Jesus to those lost in the dark.

After what looks like a huge setback, the Lord sends Moses to the people with an encouraging message: “I am the LORD . . . I will redeem you.” Today the Lord sends His servants out with an uplifting message of spiritual redemption centered in the cross of Christ.

The God-hating world will always meet God’s message and His messengers with cold-blooded hostility. Yet Moses has learned at least one thing: when confronted with obstacles, return to the Lord in prayer. It’s a lesson that seems slow to sink in for most of us.

Why would the Lord choose a reluctant sinner like Moses for such a huge job? God’s patience is amazing! Certainly it’s God’s grace and power that shines through when clay vessels like you and me finally get moving in the direction the He wants us to go.
