FEBRUARY 5 - THE FINAL PLAGUE: PASSOVER
READ Exodus 11
The final plague on Egypt is a Passover sacrifice.
INSIGHT
God's dealings with Pharaoh reveal His longsuffering attitude toward such rebellion. The plagues start out fairly minor, thus giving Pharaoh a chance to change his mind before utter calamity strikes. With each successive act of rebellion, the subsequent plague intensifies. Beginning with the unpleasant but fairly harmless plague of frogs, the process ends with the death of the firstborn of every household in Egypt. At any point, had Pharaoh repented, the plagues would have been stopped. Analyze your own life. If you've entered into conflict with God, abandon the fight before it escalates.
PRAYER
Rejoice in God's patience with rebellion and praise Him:
Then the Levites—Jeshua, Kadmiel, Bani,
Hashabneiah, Sherebiah, Hodiah, Shebaniah,
and Pethahiah— said, “Stand up.
Blessed be the Lord your God
from everlasting to everlasting.”
Blessed be your glorious name,
and may it be exalted above all
blessing and praise.
You, Lord, are the only God.
You created the heavens,
the highest heavens with all their stars,
the earth and all that is on it,
the seas and all that is in them.
You give life to all of them,
and all the stars of heaven worship you
(Nehemiah 9:5-6).
Pray this confession to the Lord:
The Lord is compassionate and gracious,
slow to anger and abounding in faithful love.
He will not always accuse us or be angry forever.
He has not dealt with us as our sins deserve
or repaid us according to our iniquities (Psalm 103:8-10).
Voice your affirmation of God's Word:
Since I am in Christ, I am a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new (Based on 2 Corinthians 5:17).
As you make your requests known to the Lord, pray for:
Offer this prayer of worship to the Lord:
Now to You who are able to keep me from stumbling,
and to present me faultless
before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy,
to God our Savior, who alone is wise,
be glory and majesty, dominion and power,
both now and forever. Amen. (Based on Jude 24-25).
