And it was told the king of Egypt that the people fled: and the heart of Pharaoh and of his servants was turned against the people, and they said, Why have we done this, that we have let Israel go from serving us? And he made ready his chariot, and took his people with him: and he took six hundred chosen chariots, and all the chariots of Egypt, and captains over every one of them. And the LORD hardened the heart of Pharaoh king of Egypt, and he pursued after the children of Israel: and the children of Israel went out with an high hand. But the Egyptians pursued after them, all the horses and chariots of Pharaoh, and his horsemen, and his army, and overtook them encamping by the sea, beside Pi-hahiroth, before Baal-zephon. And when Pharaoh drew nigh, the children of Israel lifted up their eyes, and, behold, the Egyptians marched after them; and they were sore afraid: and the children of Israel cried out unto the LORD. And they said unto Moses, Because there were no graves in Egypt, hast thou taken us away to die in the wilderness? wherefore hast thou dealt thus with us, to carry us forth out of Egypt? Is not this the word that we did tell thee in Egypt, saying, Let us alone, that we may serve the Egyptians? For it had been better for us to serve the Egyptians, than that we should die in the wilderness.

John Piper once said, “My job is faithfulness. God’s is fruitfulness.” That quote beautifully illustrates a tension we see throughout God’s Word—namely that while Scripture commands us to work hard, it also tells us that God alone produces results through our work. How do we manage this tension? That’s the question we’ll answer in this four-day devotional.

Do you want to say yes to God but have fear? Instead of letting fear stop you short, let faith call you forward with newfound confidence and holy boldness. This five-day devotional will take you on a journey with the Israelites from the wilderness to the Promised Land as you find the courage to take faith steps.
All of us have potential and promise, but ‘potential’ is not enough. The journey of Moses highlights just how challenging it can be to pursue the Promise. Before God can do things through us, He wants to do things in us. As Moses discovered, we can choose to wrestle with God's ways or Surrender to Him. Join us for a 5-day Devotional looking at Moses’ journey from potential to promise.
