Tuesday – Pentateuch

Reading – Exodus 13-14

Highlight Verse:

“When the people of Israel saw the mighty power that the Lord had unleashed against the Egyptians, they were filled with awe before him. They put their faith in the Lord and in his servant Moses.”
‭‭Exodus‬ ‭14‬:‭31‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Why did God unleash the plagues on Egypt?

Sure, it can be said that it was to punish the Egyptians for enslaving the Israelites.

But this verse points to a deeper meaning. He wanted to woo His people to Him.

It was an act of love.

I’m here in Texas today because I love my oldest daughter and want the best for her.

There’s nothing (legal) I wouldn’t do bring her into a relationship with Jesus. That is a big part of why I am here.

God loved all his people over all time so much that he took radical steps to woo us.

We would do well to help God in this effort.

What else did God do woo His people?
What can we do to help?
