It is great to know that God is faithful. God wants to see us through whatever we may be facing. The truth is that we do face challenges and difficulties in the course of life. BUT we can rejoice to know that God wants to be with us – no matter what. The promise of…

Perhaps the biggest hurdle that Moses had to overcome was his doubts and fears. God believed in him, and the Lord had prepared him for such a time as this and such a huge task as this, but he had some challenging hesitations. It is amazing how that, at the very moment of opportunity, we…

Moses spent 40 years in exile in the wilderness. But these were not wasted years.  The Lord used these years to work in Moses’ heart and to change him and bring him to a place of total surrender and reliance on the Lord.  Often, we may think that there are many wasted years in our lives, but…

Moses was the first-born son of a new marriage, and he was born into a situation of divine order. Exodus 2:1-2 ‘Now a man of the tribe of Levi married a Levite woman, and she became pregnant and gave birth to a son.’From the time of his birth, people could see that this child was special…

In the book of Exodus, we read a great story of God’s intervention in the lives of His people. We see a series of miracles and interventions that led to the deliverance of the nation, from bondage and slavery, to a land flowing with ‘milk and honey’. Within this story, of divine intervention, there is a story…

Despite the great hardship that the nation of Israel faced, they continued to thrive. Exodus 1:12 ‘But the more the Egyptians oppressed them, the more the Israelites multiplied and spread, and the more alarmed the Egyptians became.’ The concept of thriving under hardship seems a contradiction in terms. It appears that the more they were…

In the story in the book of Exodus we see how things began to change. Something happened that upset the equilibrium and the result was that the ‘tide turned’ and things took a turn. Exodus 1:8 ‘Eventually, a new king came to power in Egypt who knew nothing about Joseph or what he had done.’…

The story of the exodus of the Nation of Israel from bondage in Egypt to the promised land is the greatest story of deliverance. It is a story about a nation of people, once celebrated in the land, now tolerated and subjugated into slavery. It is also a story about the Lord’s remarkable connection with…

Part of what the Lord has in store for His people is something new. His promise to them is a return of the people from captivity. The captivity, the bondage and the lockdown would end, and they would know freedom, release and joy. The promise was that the sad days would be over and gone Isaiah 40:2…

Continuing in verse 1, we see another interesting detail.  Isaiah 40:1 ‘Comfort, comfort my people, says your God.’The phrase at the end of the sentence says: ‘says YOUR God!’ Here we see how the Lord confirms to His people that He is their God. He does not simply say: ‘Says God!’ He adds the word ‘YOUR’ to…
