As I read the Exodus story I am reminded just how determined God is to complete His mission. There is nothing Pharaoh (hardening his heart, his realization that God is powerful and should be feared) or Moses (thinking he lacks talent, his record of murder in Egypt, no standing in the community) can do to stop God from freeing His people. A brother in Christ reminded me that as Christ was approaching the Cross, Pilate also attempted to stop Christ from freeing us from the power of sin. When Pilate was asking Jesus to defend himself, Pilate wasn't giving Jesus away out, he was attempting to stop Him from completing what God was determined to do. Praise God, Jesus did not allow the weakness of our flesh to stop the conflict or the victory.
What are you called to do? Love God. Love your family, friends, and neighbors. What ways are you being hindered in completing that mission? Is it someone or something offering you a false escape? Is it your love of another god? Praying that the Holy Spirit will choose today and get you fired up to Love Him and others. Rejoicing that God will never stop working to remind me he has freed me from slavery to sin and empowered me to follow my Savior.
