Exodus Week 4

Exodus 4:18-6:9.  How do you worship when life sucks?  In Exodus 6 God gives the people of Israel and Moses encouragement during difficult times.  Both the people and their divinely appointed leader Moses were experiencing the suckiness of life.  Moses questioned God’s calling. “Why did you send me,” he said, when the people accused Moses of failing so miserably at his calling that he made the people smell like a foul odor to Pharaoh.  The people of Israel couldn’t worship because of their “broken spirit.”  When Pharaoh heard Moses’ request to let God’s people go, he made the Israelites’ lives worse by making them continue to make the same number of bricks per day, but this time Pharaoh did not supply the straw.  Watching God interact with his people in a loving and kind way helps us to see how God wants us to handle the difficulties of this life.

Swag.

Exodus Week 3

Exodus 2:17-4:12.  “You can do it!”  When you doubt yourself, that’s what people say.  Try it.  Ask a friend to help you gain the confidence to seek a new job, apply for a promotion, take on a new challenge, or to start something new.  That friend will likely begin to tell you all the things about yourself that make you qualified and capable to take on that next thing.  It feels good to have people stroke your ego and tell you how great you are.  What do you do when the reality is “you can’t do it”?  What if there is this burning desire in you to do something, or what if life demands something from you and you can’t deliver?  What do you do then?  Hearing “you can do it” does little to produce confidence.

Exodus Week 2

Exodus 1:15 – 2:25. In the book Called to Coach by Bobby Bowden, Bobby writes:  “One of the devotionals I often liked to tell our players was a story I heard many years ago. It was about Lou Little… [who] coached at Georgetown University in Washington, D.C., from 1924 to 1929. There, he coached a defensive tackle who probably weighed two hundred pounds, which was very big back in those days. Little worked with the boy every day, but the young man just did not get any better. But the boy was persistent, worked hard, and had a great attitude. In fact, the boy never missed a practice in his four seasons on the team. Three or four days before the boy’s final game at Georgetown, Little received a telegram that informed him the boy’s father had died. Little had seen the boy walking with his father. ‘Son, I am sorry,’ Little told him. ‘But your father passed away. Go home and take care of your family. We’ll try to win this game for you.’ Read More…

Exodus Week 1

Exodus 1-1:14

My stomach turns. My mind has a hard time dealing with complex thoughts. I go inside of myself. I get a short temper. These are symptoms. Symptoms that show up when life gets tough. It is easy to love God and to love others when life is warm and filled with laughter. When life is cold and filled with trial, the story is different. Read More…

This is cool…
