To get you ready and familiar with Exodus, read Exodus 7-15:21; it will probably take you 20 minutes and might just be your best 20 minutes all week. Read that section and then post on this blog some of your observations. What are you seeing? What did God impress on your heart from the text? I'd love to hear your thoughts.

The biggest thing that God impressed on my heart during this reading was this: Each time God said "Let my people go..", it was always followed by "..so that they may worship me". He didn't say "Let my people go, so that they will be more comfortable....or relieved of pain, toil or slavery. All of those things occurred, but God was primarily interested in gaining His people back, having their undivided worship and thus declaring to all He is their God and they are His people. I sense His calling for this in my own heart. My response to His deliverance in difference circumstances must not simply be, "Whew...thanks for getting me out of that one God". Rather His deliverance demands my worship of Him, declaring to everyone around me that yes, He is my God and I am His child.
Great insight, Tawnya. God cares about his name being honored for several reasons, one of them being its good for his people. Ex. should be helpful to our worship of God.
Thanks.
Brian
