And Moses and Aaron did so; just as the LORD commanded them, so they did. Now Moses was eighty years old and Aaron eighty-three years old when they spoke to Pharaoh. Now the LORD said to Moses and Aaron, “When Pharaoh says to you, ‘Work a miracle [to prove your authority],’ then you say to Aaron, ‘Take your staff and throw it down before Pharaoh, so that it may become a serpent.’ ” So Moses and Aaron came to Pharaoh, and did just as the LORD had commanded; Aaron threw down his staff before Pharaoh and his servants, and it became a serpent. Then Pharaoh called for the wise men [skilled in magic and omens] and the sorcerers [skilled in witchcraft], and they also, these magicians (soothsayer-priests) of Egypt, did the same with their secret arts and enchantments. For every man threw down his staff and they turned into serpents; but Aaron’s staff swallowed up their staffs. Yet Pharaoh’s heart was hardened and he would not listen to them, just as the LORD had said.

Exodus begins with God hearing the cries of His people and rescuing them from slavery in Egypt. Through Moses, God shows His power in signs and wonders, delivers His people at Passover, and parts the Red Sea. This plan will help you see God as the One who rescues—not just long ago, but today. His promises are stronger than your doubts, and His rescue leads to freedom.
