MORNING— Judgement at Midnight “Now it came about at midnight that the Lord struck all the firstborn in the land of Egypt… Pharaoh arose in the night… and he called for Moses and Aaron at night and said, ‘Rise up, get out from among my people…’” Midnight arrives with vengeance.  Pharaoh had resisted God through…

MORNING— When I See the Blood “The blood shall be a sign for you on the houses where you live; and when I see the blood I will pass over you, and no plague will befall you to destroy you when I strike the land of Egypt.” The final plague was different from all the…

MORNING— So That They May Know “The Egyptians shall know that I am the Lord, when I stretch out My hand on Egypt and bring out the sons of Israel from their midst.” The confrontation between Moses and Pharaoh is not primarily about winning an argument or forcing a decision. God tells us plainly why…

MORNING— Here I Am… But “Then Moses said, ‘What if they will not believe me or listen to what I say?” Moses stands before God at the burning bush—sandals off, heart exposed, listening to a call he once longed to receive-to help rescue his own people from bondage. And yet, instead of stepping forward, he…

MORNING— FIRE! “The angel of the Lord appeared to him in a blazing fire from the midst of a bush… yet the bush was not consumed.” After a disastrous attempt to deliver his people from bondage (Exodus 2:11–15), Moses found himself on the backside of the desert.

They trusted promises made…

MORNING— Let God Hold the Gavel “But Joseph said to them, ‘Do not be afraid, for am I in God’s place?” Jacob’s death stirred something dark in Joseph’s brothers. Though Joseph had already forgiven them, guilt whispered lies: What if he was only waiting for Dad to die? What if now he pays us back?…

MORNING— The Reveal “Then Joseph could not control himself before all those who stood by him, and he cried, ‘Have everyone go out from me.’ So there was no man with him when Joseph made himself known to his brothers.” Ever been to a surprise party? Everyone packed into a hiding spot, holding their breath,…

MORNING— From Prison to Palace “Then Pharaoh sent and called for Joseph, and they hurriedly brought him out of the dungeon; and when he had shaved himself and changed his clothes, he came to Pharaoh.” Have you ever experienced sudden ascent? Years ago, I took my son and a friend to a theme park in…

MORNING— Joseph’s Dreams “Then Joseph had a dream, and when he told it to his brothers, they hated him even more.” Genesis 37 opens quietly. Jacob is settled in the land of Canaan, and though his story will continue, the focus subtly shifts with a single name: Joseph. At seventeen, Joseph lives in a complicated…
