Key Verse: 5:1
First, we can boldly speak the truth of God (1-5). Pharaoh was the leader of a superpower nation. Moses and Aaron were straight out of the desert...dusty, old and poor. Yet they could stand with such boldness because God was with them. They had confidence that God would give them the words to speak and go on before them. Pray, step out in faith and speak. See what God will do.
Second, there is trouble before a great deliverance (6-21). Pharaoh became very angry, increasing the work load to the breaking point. The cost of freedom was beginning to be felt. Freedom is never free. In fact, it is normal to experience some "trouble" before tasting the fruits of freedom. It is the darkest before the dawn. The mother experiences pain just before birth. The chains are the most taut before breaking. Don't give up. God is at work bringing about a great deliverance.
Prayer: Lord, thank you for your desire to see your people set free from the power of the devil and sin. Raise up a modern day "Moses"' who can declare your truth.
One Word: Stand in faith and declare God's truth
