Key Verse: 12:42
First, getting on board with God (29-30). God wanted his people to be set free. At midnight the Lord struck down all the firstborn in Egypt. Only households protected by the blood of the lamb were spared. God struck the very heart of Pharaoh when the Pharaoh's own son died. His hardened heart surrendered and he let Israel go. It is fruitless, pointless and even painful to resist the will of God. Instead of raging in vain against the Holy One of Israel, get on board with what God is doing.
Second, our faithful God watches over his people (31- 42). After his son died, Pharaoh summoned Moses and Aaron that night and ordered the Israelites to leave Egypt. So they left - three million people. They ate the Passover meal and left in a hurry. And so it came to pass, God fulfilled his promise to Abraham (Gen 15:14). All the power of Egypt couldn't stop God. Our God is faithful; He keeps vigil over his us. We can trust him.
Prayer: Lord, thank you for keeping vigil over your people during life's pilgrimage. We trust you and follow you.
One Word: Our faithful God leads us to freedom
