Moses – Israelites enslaved for 430 years While oppression reigned in Egypt An edict ------ a slaughter Even of baby boys in their cribs Faithful mother - basket of reeds… Heart wrenching farewell by the Nile Where would you go? Where would you land? In the lap of a princess – God rescued in style! Nurse-maid was sent for – God’s hand again provides Your very own mom to care for… The infant needs of her child. The best of Egypt at your disposal – Education, resources, pleasures unmeasured, Which would you choose – Moses of old – Egypt or… the people you treasured? Moses – A beaten fellow Israelite Your fury fully aroused – Death of a task master Your freedom to choose – now denounced You flee!!! 40 year old runaway – running away to Midian – Jethro’s daughters you rescue And end up marrying one – 40 years you spend tending sheep until you encounter God’s invite His small – STILL – voice. 80 year old Moses – how did it feel? Confronting mighty, mighty pharaoh? Again and again until.. He’d let your people GO! Plague of blood – gnats and flies – Plague of darkness – Death of livestock, frogs and more Only caused greater hardness – Of pharaoh’s heart. Passover night – what was it like? To be shielded by the blood of a lamb. While the death angel passed… Everywhere in Egypt… even thru your camp. Deliverer of Israel – leader extraordinaire Out of bondage to freedom – Would your people care? These millions you led – What a burden to bear… for Him! At the Red Sea You weren’t even bothered… Water on one side… Pharaoh’s army on the other – But God made a way A way through the sea Deliverance for Israel – And a way to flee But on pharaoh these walls Fell to destroy All of his army – completely Demolished with joy!! For Israel! Moses – oh Moses – Great leader of old – Your ancient faith speaks to us. Give us your zeal and fear of God Until He comes to deliver us. man, i really love this study in the old testament.... joe |
