قصة النبي موسى - الخروج 8:5-9

Are you tired? In a culture where low-grade exhaustion is the new normal, Jesus invites us into a life of rest in him. Through the practice of Sabbath, we practice entering this promised rest. This plan, Practicing the Way, by John Mark Comer, provides an introduction into the practice of Sabbath, featuring key ideas and practical suggestions for you to find rest for your soul.

God has created all people to be free – moving from darkness to light. In the book of Exodus, we find an early account of slavery in the lives of the Israelites. As we look at this story and witness God’s response to the plight of his people, how can we respond with courage and compassion in prayer and petition for people who experience modern slavery and human trafficking?

How do I humble myself? Humility, according to the Bible, is not something we can just up and do. Humility first comes from the hand of God. He initiates the humbling of his creatures. And once he has, the question confronts us: Will you receive it? Will you humble yourself in response to his humbling hand, or will you kick against him?

The impetus for the exodus was “harsh labor” and slavish jobs (see Exodus 1:14; 3:7-8). Not surprisingly, the Book of Exodus has a lot to teach us about our own work today. In this seven-day plan, we’ll travel with Moses from Egypt, through the Red Sea, and to the foot of Mount Sinai to extract wisdom for our work from the exodus!
