Devotion – Exodus

S – But the more they oppressed them, the more they multiplied and spread so that the Egyptians came to dread the Israelites

Exodus 1:12 CSB

O – Fascinating principle throughout the Bible – the more God’s plan is challenged, the more it flourishes.  God fulfills his words to Abraham that his lineage would be oppressed but then go into the promised land.  

A –  I can trust God’s work in my life because He is using it to grow me closer to Him.  At the same time, I am a puzzle piece in his giant puzzle of mankind.  It all works together for His good.

R – Lord, I put my trust in you.  I know that You are leading me in Your ways so that I may be who You called me to be.  I also know that you have a higher purpose that I can have faith in for the larger good.  Let me have an attitude of humility, courage and resolution as I go throughout my day.
