Exodus 4 continues with God speaking to Moses. Moses continues with his talk about sending someone else because he is not a good speaker. God tells Moses what he is going to do and shows him some miracles that he will perform in front of the pharaoh.
Exodus 5 begins a series of talks with Moses and the pharaoh. Pharaoh's heart is definitely hardened. He not only does not let them go but he increases their workload. Now not only are they working harder they are getting beaten for not meeting the demands put on them by pharaoh. Moses then cries out to the Lord as to why He sent him there. He is not delivering them from their current condition but is making it harder for them.
Exodus 6 is basically another genealogy chapter.
The remaining portion of our Matthew 24 reading continues with the coming of the Son of Man. We learn that no one will know when it is to happen. It will come at a time it is least expected. We are to remain faithful to the final day.
Tomorrow's reading is:
Exodus 7, 8 and Matthew 25:1 - 30
4. God got mad at Moses for not believing he could do the task being asked of him. I don't really know what I feel like that means to me, it just really jumped out at me.
ReplyDelete5. The people must have hated Moses. I'm sure this played into his fears that he wouldn't be able to lead the people.
6. I loved the first part of this chapter. I felt like it was such a powerful message, if only the people of Israel would have listened.
25. I get the feeling that the closer those final days get the harder it will be to be faithful.
