We have been having an amazing time walking through How God is at work in His people through the book of Exodus. And if you haven’t noticed, we are almost done with Exodus 4. Obviously in this fast-paced study (hehe) we need to catch our breath sometimes and look back and remember what God has shown us so far. Here’s some Cliff-Notes from Exodus 1.
“We may wonder How God’s plan will unfold, but never question IF it will unfold.”
“Don’t waste the opportunity to meet and know God through the book of Exodus.”
Things to mark as you read: Find God, See the Gospel, Notice Irony, Mark the stories and learn to retell them, Connect it to Jesus, Discover life lessons
“Failing to read and rest in God’s Word is the surest way to stunt your growth and end up trapped in a wilderness of your own doing”
“Don’t allow circumstances to determine your theology.”
“Fear of man brings out the worst of sin”
“Satan begins working in people when they compare themselves with others and feel less than.”
“Your value is not based on a scale or score – its based on Jesus’ love for you.”
“Evil and Pharoah are no match for God’s sovereignty”
“The surest way to find solid footing on reality is to know who God is.”
“God is first and foremost for our holiness not our happiness”
“We are at our best when we have a healthy fear of God.”
“To fear God is to become so aware, emotionally and mentally, of the greatness of God that it alters our life and auto-tunes our steps to His ways.”
“Actively fearing God cancels out living in fear of man.”
“When you lack boldness for Jesus Christ – its not an obedience problem it’s a fear of man problem.”
