Bible Verse of The Day – 3-11-25

Exodus 3:5 (NKJV) 5 Then He said, “Do not draw near this place. Take your sandals off your feet, for the place where you stand is holy ground.”

Yesterday we had briefly discussed the fact that Moses was set aside by God at birth, escaping death at the hands of Pharaoh of Egypt by way of his mother’s bravery.

When Moses was born, there had been an edict issued by Pharaoh that all newborn Hebrew boys must be killed immediately upon birth.

But after giving birth to Moses, his mother quietly hid him for 3 months and then placed him in a waterproof, floating basket in the Nile River, trusting God to deliver her son wherever He wanted Moses to be.

And as God orchestrated it, Moses was found in the river by the daughter of Pharaoh, who adopted him.

From then until Moses was an adult, he was raised by this same woman, as a member of Pharaoh’s family.

But then the life of Moses took some incredible turns that could only have been orchestrated by God Himself (see Exodus chapter 2).

And when he met God at the burning bush, his life was changed forever by what God asked him to do.

The rest of the life of Moses was spent in face-to-face encounters with Pharaoh, demanding that he let God’s people go.

God used him to demonstrate His miraculous powers.

But Pharaoh was a stubborn man whose heart was hardened. And he refused to surrender until the day in which God sent the angel of death throughout the Egyptian households, taking the life of every firstborn son.

By the power of God, Moses led the Israelite people for the next 30+ years as they traveled through the wilderness, wrestling with God every step of the way.

His life was not easy. The Israelites were “a stiff-necked people” who rebelled against God repeatedly as He chastened them for their incessant idol worship.

Moses failed to make it into the Promised Land because he disobeyed God in one situation. But as a concession, God did allow him to see it from a distance before he died.

Needless to say, the life of Moses was changed immeasurably by his encounter with God.

Please join us tomorrow as we further examine this intriguing topic.
