Devotion – Exodus 10

S – and so that you may tell your son and grandson how severely I dealt with the Egyptians and performed miraculous signs among them, and you will know that I am the Lord

Exodus 10:2 CSB

O – Commentary: Up to this point, the plagues served to glorify Yahweh and free Israel from Egyptian servitude. This wording indicates that these events were also intended to become an enduring part of Israel’s history. The plagues are cast as a dramatic example of Yahweh’s superiority to other gods and His bond with Israel. They will serve to instruct the young of each generation and remind the old of their ancestors’ redemption.

R – Lord, every day you are doing signs and wonders in us and around us.  Help me to recognize them.  Also, help me to share them with others, especially the next generation.  In my growth, help me to remember your grace, power and sovereignty in your relationship with mankind.  I choose to step closer to you.
