Reflections on Exodus
Exodus 5 – Moses returns to Egypt
Not much to report out of this chapter. Moses goes back to Egypt and puts Pharaoh on notice that God wants His people back. Pharaoh says no way and in return puts the Israelites to harder work to make them forget about God’s call and even turn against Moses and Aaron.
Wow, isn’t that the way that Satan works? God has called me to a life of beauty, grace and love and Satan just turns up the heat on the “things of this world” to distract us from reality.
The real truth is that God is wanting to redeem the Israelites from their bondage in Egypt.
The real truth is that God is wanting to redeem you and me from our bondage in this world to the things of this world and the priorities and desires of this world.
Again, it’s all the same.
