DEVOTION: "Now the length of time the Israelites lived in Egypt was 430 years. At the end of the 430 years, to the very day, all the Lord's divisions left Egypt." The Story p. 52
Can you imagine, day after day, year after year, being burdened with slavery? Can you imagine being beaten day after day and hearing the stories of how your family used to be big shots in Goshen and had the best land and the best of everything? Sounds like a horrible existence, doesn't it?
There are many in our world who are going through just this kind of trouble. There are people who are living miserable lives, because of their own sin or because of the sin of others. There are Christians who are at this very moment being persecuted and even killed for their faith in Christ. There are children who are growing up as slaves. There are millions of people living in dire poverty.
What do they need? They need the love of Christ!! What does this look like? It looks like food and shelter for those who are starving and homeless. It looks like forgiveness for those whose own sin has caused their terrible situations. It looks like love for a hurting world in the form of the preaching and teaching of the pure Gospel of Christ's love and forgiveness. It looks like Jesus!
In the reading for today, the Lord heard their cry and delivered them out of the hand of the Egyptians. He does the same for all of us. We were in the slavery of sin and some of us still are. What do we need today and every day? WE NEED JESUS! We all need him to rescue us and give us Himself!
Prayer: Lord God, thank you for delivering us from the slavery of sin and giving us an eternal FREE life. Amen.
