Week 6 Day 1: The Burning Bush ⇧ ⇩
Question
What did the descendants of Israel experience in Egypt?
Scripture Reading
Meditation: God’s Story
-
God is loving and faithful. He has a perfect plan for His people. He listens and cares for them. So, we lean on Him and keep hope in His plan for all who leans on Him will be brought out of darkness into light to experience His abundant blessings.
-
God elected man to work with Him. He needs no one’s help because He is omnipotent. And yet, He chooses man to work with Him so that we may experience Him.
Meditation: My Story
-
Identity - How did Moses feel when God first called on Him? How do I identify myself when I hesitate from answering God’s calling?
-
Fidelity - God always gave Moses the perfect solution each time he pushed back on His calling. Am I pushing back God’s calling because I distrust my own ability to handle rather than depend on Him to supply and equip?

Week 6 Day 2: Meeting with Pharaoh ⇧ ⇩
Question
How did the first meeting between Moses, Aaron, and Pharaoh go?
Scripture Reading
Meditation: God’s Story
-
Pharaoh laid more burden on Israelites after the first meeting with Moses and Aaron. God might allow many unreasonable things to happen but through them, we get to know better God’s power, faith, righteousness, and love.
-
Israelites complained to Moses because they had to do more works. God restated His promise and let Moses know His faith and love to the Israelites.
Meditation: My Story
-
Community - God let Aaron to help Moses because he spoke with faltering lips. Do I seek help from others with different gifts, so we can form a unified spiritual team to serve God?
-
Fidelity - Israelites bad mouthed Moses when He obeyed God’s will. While serving, what should I do when facing complaints? What can I learn from the interactions between Moses and God?
Prayer
Notes and Responses
Week 6 Day 3: God Showed Power ⇧ ⇩
Question
What did God do when Pharaoh failed to let the Israelites leave?
Scripture Reading
Meditation: God’s Story
-
God told Moses and Aaron that He would multiply His signs and wonders in Egypt so they would know He is the Lord.
-
Pharaoh would not obey God to let Israelites leave after being warned repeatedly. His heart hardened after each plague. His stubbornness brought destructions to his people and country.
Meditation: My Story
-
Walking with God - It is necessary to overcome the bondage of the world to live a Godly life. In Moses’ time, it was the Pharaoh. Today, it is money, work, and many other challenges. What did I learn from today’s passage to face these challenges?
-
Fidelity - Moses repeatedly asked Pharaoh to “let my people go.” Moses might have felt frustrated and defeated but he continued to obey and serve God. Can I continue to obey and serve God faithfully like Moses when facing difficult struggles repeatedly?
Prayer

Week 6 Day 4: God gave Ultimatum ⇧ ⇩
Question
What did God do when Pharaoh’s heart continued to harden?
Scripture Reading
Meditation: God’s Story
-
Pharaoh never completely obeyed God and continued to bargain in “partial submission” even after so many plagues. God is all knowing and omnipotent. There is no bargaining with God because His will is always accomplished.
-
God commanded Moses to tell his descendants everything happened in Egypt. God works wonders and we ought to proclaim in His name.
Meditation: My Story
-
Walking with God - Moses transformed from a cowardly and undecisive person to a faithful servant of God who was able to stand up against the Pharaoh on all things. What kind of transformations can I see from a person who walks with God? What can I learn from Moses?
-
Integrity - Gone through plagues after plagues, Pharaoh continued to rebel against God because of his pride. Do I truly know God’s greatness? Am I willing to submit to Him completely?
Prayer
Notes and Responses
Week 6 Day 5: Origin of Passover ⇧ ⇩
Question
What was God’s tenth plague when Pharaoh’s heart was still hardened and refused to let the Israelites go?
Scripture Reading
Meditation: God’s Story
-
Many Jewish holidays came directly from God. Passover was one of them. It was to commemorate the blessings they received when God led them out of Egypt.
-
They followed God’s command by putting the blood of lamb on the door frames. Any family did not do so had their first born killed. Israel must kill the lamb and protect themselves with its blood. This foretells Jesus Christ as the lamb that bleed for all men’s sins.
Meditation: My Story
-
Walking with God - Eating in hast on the Passover, putting on travel clothing, and getting ready to leave are Israelites’ display of faith. They acted on faith for God’s promise to lead them out of Egypt. Do I need faith to prepare myself for God’s promises that are yet to come?
-
Fidelity - Moses summoned all the elders to give them the instructions for Passover. Everyone obeyed willingly. Obeying God’s commands, Moses and Arron finally got the respect from Israelites. How does this remind me of those who serve God? How I should view them?
Prayer

Week 6 Day 6: Exodus from Egypt ⇧ ⇮
Question
How did God lead Israelites out of Egypt?
Scripture Reading
Meditation: God’s Story
-
In the days of Exodus, God used the pillar of cloud and pillar of fire to lead the Israelites every day so they would not get lost.
-
It was a great challenge facing the Red Sea. Israelites experienced God’s great power in His faithfulness and salvation.
Meditation: My Story
-
Walking with God - Moses brought along Joseph’s bones because Joseph told the Israelites: “God will surely come to your aid, and then you must carry my bones up from this place.” A faithful servant of God continues to testify for Him even after he dies. What can I learn from this?
-
Fidelity - Israelites complained against Moses when facing the impassable Red Sea. But Moses continued to comfort them asking them to have faith in God. Moses’ faith in God and positive attitude were admirable. Can I learn to have faith in God when I face difficulties in my life?
