Exodus is a wonderfully practical study of God's Word that contains
foundational truths about deliverance, redemption, the Law and the
Tabernacle. Walk with Moses out of Egypt and gain insights for
leadership. Observe the judgments of God while delivering His
people. Understand the Old Covenant of the Law and how it was given
to Israel to help in our understanding of the New Testament. Examine
the contents and structure of the Tabernacle of God among His people
and catch a glimpse of His holiness. Learn powerful truths about Who
God is and what His ways are like.

|
Exodus 15:21-22 |
Living in the
Valleys - most people don’t live on mountains. The demands of
reality require that life is generally lived in the valleys.
|
|
Exodus 15:23 |
By the Waters of
Bitterness - A bitter spirit will keep you from being a better
person. |
|
Exodus 15:24 |
The Attitude of
Ingratitude - Times of need are times for praying, not
complaining... Nothing cures ingratitude as quickly as a good
memory. |
|
Exodus 15:25 |
Cry Out - It’s not
what you know but who you know that counts. |
|
Exodus 15:26 |
The Key to Health
- An ounce of obedience is worth a pound of protection.
|
|
Exodus 15:27 |
Does Jesus Care? -
In His time, God gives us rest from every test. |
|
Exodus 16:2-3 |
Selective Memories
- The memories Satan selects never reflect the way it really
was. |
|
Exodus 16:4 |
Tested By the
Blessings - If you are experiencing a time of blessing, that’s
wonderful—but be sensitive to the potential for danger.
Testing doesn’t stop just because the trials have ceased. The
need for obedience is constant whether the sun shines or not. |
|
Exodus 16:7 |
Glory in the
Morning - How you begin your day will frequently determine how
you end it. |
|

I Hate to Complain
- Ultimately, all our complaints are directed against God. |

The Mentor - In

A Little Help From
Your Friends - Be sensitive to the opportunities to respond as
Aaron and Hur did. Victory is never won alone. |

The weakest ink is stronger than the greatest memory. When
you’re feeling discouraged, or perhaps even wondering if God
loves you, take out your journal and refresh your memory. |
|
Exodus 17:15-16 |
His Banner Over Me
- Is it obvious to those around you that the King is in
residence in your life? If the King is in residence, be
sure to fly His flag. |
|
Exodus 18:2-5 |
A Family Reunion -
Christians never say "good-bye"; just "until we meet again." |

are! |

Great is the Lord

|
Exodus 18:14,17 |
The Test of a True
Friend - faithful friend is a truthful friend. |

Exodus 18:21 |
Looking for
Leadership - What a man is will always determine what a man
does. |
|
Exodus 18:22 |
Burden Bearers -
Are you willing to help others bear their burdens? A burden
shared is a lighter load. |
|
Exodus 19:3-4 |
No Obstacles
Allowed - What you can’t go through, God will help you fly
over. |
|

No Room For Doubt
- During those times when doubts arise, quench them with a
healthy dose of proof. Read your Bible... Our faith is based
on facts, not fiction. |

The God Who Is
Near - When you put your hand in God’s hand, you will never
walk alone. |
|
Exodus 20:1-3 |
Priority One - If
your life is chaotic, it may indicate your priorities are
jumbled. Make God priority one in your life and you may be
surprised at how easily everything else comes together. Only
by starting your priorities right can you hope to end them
right. Everything begins with the right priorities, and right
priorities begin with God. |
|
Exodus 20:12 |
Honor Your Parents
- Honor your parents and the Lord will honor you. |
|
Exodus 20:13 |
Respect for Life -
An attitude can murder just as easily as an ax. |
|

An Undefiled Bed -
When adultery walks in, everything worth having walks out |

Exodus 3:7 |
"I know their
sorrows." The child is cheered as he sings, "This my father
knows"; and shall not we be comforted as we discern that our dear
Friend and tender soul-husband knows all about us? |
|
Exodus 3:12 |
A man without fear.
|
|
Exodus 4:12 |
Speak What He Teaches |
|
Exodus 7:5 |
God’s Enemies Shall Bow |
|
Exodus 7:12 |
Examine
yourself, my reader, on this point. Aaron's rod proved its
heaven-given power. Is your religion doing so? If Christ be
anything he must be everything. O rest not till love and faith in
Jesus be the master passions of your soul! |
|
Exodus 8:23 |
Maintain the Difference |
|
Exodus 8:28 |
"The further
from a viper the better, and the further from worldly conformity
the better. To all true believers let the trumpet-call be sounded,
"Come ye out from among them, be ye separate. " |
|
Exodus 12:13 |
Justice Satisfied |
|
Exodus 14:13 |
"Stand still,
and see the salvation of the Lord." These words contain God's
command to the believer when he is reduced to great straits and
brought into extraordinary difficulties. He cannot retreat; he
cannot go forward; he is shut up on the right hand and on the
left; what is he now to do? The Master's word to him is, "Stand
still." |
|
Exodus 16:21 |
Labour to
maintain a sense of thine entire dependence upon the Lord's good
will and pleasure for the continuance of thy richest enjoyments.
Never try to live on the old manna, nor seek to find help in
Egypt. All must come from Jesus, or thou art undone for ever. |
|
Exodus 20:25 |
God's altar was
to be built of unhewn stones, that no trace of human skill or
labour might be seen upon it. Human wisdom delights to trim and
arrange the doctrines of the cross into a system more artificial
and more congenial with the depraved tastes of fallen nature; |
|
Exodus 22:6 |
Discord usually
takes first hold upon the thorns; it is nurtured among the
hypocrites and base professors in the church, and away it goes
among the righteous, blown by the winds of hell, and no one knows
where it may end. O thou Lord and giver of peace, make us
peacemakers, and never let us aid and abet the men of strife, or
even unintentionally cause the least division among thy people.
|
|
Exodus 23:22 |
God Is Our Ally |
|
Exodus 23:25 |
Commonest Things Blessed |
|
Exodus 28:38 |
"The iniquity
of the holy things." "What a veil is lifted up by these words, and
what a disclosure is made! It will be humbling and profitable for
us to pause awhile and see this sad sight." |
|
Exodus 25:6 |
"Oil for the
light." My soul, how much thou needest this, for thy lamp will not
long continue to burn without it. |
|
Exodus 28:38 |
Rest in All Thy Goings |
|
Exodus 33:14 |
Rest in All Thy Goings |
|
Exodus 34:20 |
"But the
firstling of an ass thou shalt redeem with a lamb: and if thou
redeem him not, then shalt thou break his neck." |
|
Exodus 35:8 |
"Spices for
anointing oil." Much use was made of this anointing oil under the
law, and that which it represents is of primary importance under
the gospel. The Holy Spirit, who anoints us for all holy service,
is indispensable to us if we would serve the Lord acceptably.
Without his aid our religious services are but a vain oblation,
and our inward experience is a dead thing. Whenever our ministry
is without unction, what miserable stuff it becomes! |

Exodus 1:8-2:1 |
About twelve hours before a scheduled abortion some twenty
years ago, a young, unwed mother chose not to go through with
it. Instead, she gave birth to a son, who was adopted into a
Christian family. His name is Mike Glass–he praises God more
than most of us do for the gift of life. And he mourns, in a
very personal way, for the 40 million babies aborted in
America since Roe v. Wade. “Thanks God, Mom, Mom and Dad,” he
wrote in World magazine. “I love you all. Thank you for
letting me breathe my first breaths; I could have easily been
one of the 40 million.” |

Exodus 2:1 |
When asked what had sparked his interest in science, Albert
Einstein frequently recalled two gifts he had received as a
child. One was a magnetic compass. He was transfixed by the
needle’s northward-pointing constancy and the idea of
invisible magnetic forces. The second was a geometry book. He
was impressed by its logic and began to realize that nature,
even its invisible features, could be explored and explained.
These two gifts helped shape the direction of Einstein’s
remarkable life and career. In a similar way, the basket
Moses’ mother made in today’s reading foreshadowed the
direction and themes of his entire life: protection and
deliverance (Ps. 32:7). |
|
Exodus 2:23-4:10 |
Positioned
in front of a Hollywood backdrop, with staff in hand and a
stoic expression on his face, Charlton Heston made a
formidable Moses in the classic movie The Ten Commandments.
More recently, the story of Exodus received an animated
face-lift in 1998’s The Prince of Egypt, complete with
awe-inspiring special effects. While both movies take
liberties with the biblical account of the Israelites’ flight
from Egypt, they draw attention to an event so significant
that its memory permeates the whole of the Old Testament and
the history of the Jewish nation.
God responded
to the Israelites’ cry because of His covenant with Abraham
and His ensuing relationship with the patriarchs. But He was
also motivated out of compassion for their sufferings, which
included infanticide and forced labor. To set His people free,
God called upon the reticent Moses. And through the battle of
wills with Pharaoh, the escape, and the establishment of
society in the wilderness, God’s role in the lives of the
Israelites moves from that of distant deity to personal and
present provider. “What other nation is so great as to have
their gods near them the way the Lord our God is near us
whenever we pray to him?” (Deut. 4:7).
