Exodus

  • When It Gets Harder Before It Gets Better

    Moses obeyed God exactly — and things got worse. Pharaoh increased the workload. The people blamed Moses. And Moses went back to God with the most honest prayer: “Why, Lord? You have not rescued your people at all.” God’s response was not a rebuke. It was seven “I will” promises in one passage. Today’s devotional is for anyone who has obeyed God and watched things get harder instead of easier — and is wondering whether to keep going.

  • Friends of God

    In Exodus 4, Moses gave God every reason why he was the wrong person for the job. And God patiently answered every objection. That conversation — honest, real, full of pushback — is what friendship with God looks like. Jesus defined it in John 15: “You are my friends if you do what I command.” Not servants just following orders. Friends who know what their Master is doing. Today’s devotional is about what that kind of friendship actually looks like.
