  • Daily Devotional: Exodus 12:33-41

    Daily Devotional: Exodus 12:33-41

    Go back and read Genesis 15:13. God predicted that Abraham’s descendants would be strangers in a land not their own for 400 years. It would be 30 years until Isaac was born and 400 to the day before the Israelite release from Egypt–430 years exactly. It is a date the Israelites longed for. In this…

    Daily Devotional: Exodus 12:15-32

    God sees the blood on the frames of the Israelite doors and passes over them, not allowing the destroyer to go in. I find this wording interesting. From Genesis 4:23 onward, God has said that He will personally kill the firstborn. Yet, here we read about Him sending in or withholding a destroyer–a character some…

    Daily Devotional: Exodus 12:14-22

    God not only instructs Israel concerning the first Passover in Egypt; He also institutes a week-long festival to commemorate their exodus and freedom. They are coming out of the land of Egypt, so, symbolically, they are to abstain from all leaven–eating only unleavened bread. During the week-long festival, the Israelites are to have holy assemblies…

    Daily Devotional: Exodus 12:1-13

    God instructs the Israelites to eat a passover lamb and spread its blood on their doorposts as a sign of redemption, a sign to the people. We know that God is going to smite the Egyptian firstborn (except for Pharaoh himself) about midnight of the night Moses left his presence for the final time (Genesis…

    Daily Devotional: Exodus 11:1-10

    Here, we read that Moses and the Israelites have favor in the sight of many Egyptians, even Pharaoh’s servants. Yet, Pharaoh’s heart is hardened. Thus, we arrive at the final plague that God predicted in Exodus 4:23. At midnight on this day, God will Himself go into the midst of Egypt to take the firstborn…

    Daily Devotional: Exodus 10:21-29

    God causes darkness to fall over the land of Egypt for three days. Unlike in the movie, Prince of Egypt, darkness also falls over Goshen—but the Hebrews have sources of light within their dwelling places—which is an important note for apologetics. Many philosophical attacks on the faith can be rebutted  simply by reading what the…

    Daily Devotional: Exodus 10:1-20

    When Moses goes before Pharaoh this time, we almost have a glimpse of hope as Pharaoh offers to let the people. Once Moses tells Pharaoh that all the people of Israel must go, Pharaoh calls his thoughts evil and directs Moses only to take the men into the wilderness to praise Yahweh. God causes locusts…

    Daily Devotional Exodus 9:18-35

    The gods of Egypt also had no control over the skies of Egypt. The Egyptian gods, Nut and Seth, are put to shame as Yahweh brings forth hail, thunder, and lightning in the most severe storm ever to have hit Egypt since it has been a nation. Like we have seen with the other plagues,…

    Daily Devotional: Exodus 9:1-17

    Like the plague of flies, the plagues of cattle death and boils only bother the Egyptians, not the Hebrews. God is clear about His objective—to show the Egyptians His power and to proclaim His own name through all the earth. God’s actions are not merely performed to free people from slavery—which we are often guilty…

    Daily Devotional: Exodus 8:1-15

    For Egyptians, the frog symbolizes birth, generation, water, renewal, and fertility. The Egyptians wear frog amulets and even have a frog-headed goddess named Heqet. With his staff, Aaron obeyes the Lord and summons frogs over the land of Egypt. He does so that Egypt will know that there is no one, especially no god, like…
