Key Verse: 7:5
First, God makes impossible missions possible to reveal his glory (1-6). God reveals his glory so that people would believe and trust in him for salvation. He reveals his glory through those who embrace his "impossible" mission. Pharaoh's tenacity would reveal that it was by God's power alone that the Israelites could be set free. The entire world, for all generations, would know that God is the sovereign ruler of all the earth and he is mighty to save and strong to deliver (1 Cor 10:31).
Second, God's glory will conquer counterfeits (7-13). Satan generates counterfeit miracles to deceive people. When Pharaoh asked for a miracle to prove their authority, Aaron threw down his staff and it became a snake. But the Egyptian magicians did the same thing. Aaron's snake swallowed them up by a miracle of God. The things of God are lasting and genuine. They reveal the things of this world for what they truly are. Never settle for the fake miracles of this world.
Prayer: Lord, thank you for revealing your glory. May your glory shine to the ends of the earth.
One Word: God's power and glory shines forth amidst counterfeits and so trust in God alone
