Exodus Theresa Jean Nichols

Moses wrote Exodus and it is the second book in the Bible. It is a part of the Pentateuch. The name in the Greek means "To go out." God had already planned for Moses to be raised in the house of Pharaoh. One of the benefits to that was his ability to learn to read and write. He fully understood the Egyptian customs and he fully loved his people, the Israelites. With that in mind alone, this book intrigues me. It is a story of leaving a place of sorrow and pain and being set free in some of the most amazing miraculous ways in the entire Bible. This book is referred to many times throughout the Bible. God wanted the remembrance of all He did for the Israelites to never be forgotten. To this day, there are ceremonies and feasts and Scriptural readings and remembrances of this very important time. It is a story of then and it is a story of now. Our prayer is that you will be encouraged as you leave your wilderness journey or place of pain and walk into a full Promised Land for you and your household. God is not dead and He changes not. He is the same yesterday, today and forever. What He did for them, He certainly will do for you. Our Sunday school class decided to study this book and we sought God for revelation as to how this can apply to us today in 2015. We have found some nuggets of gold that we want to share with you. We will walk through Exodus 8 chapters at a time until we complete the 40 chapters. I write love letters from God in a series called Don't Worry, God Has You Covered, so this will be sprinkled with some of the love letters God gave me as we studied this book.
