Daily Bible Reading — Sustained By God’s Word Of Forgiveness & MercySample

August 14
Introduction
As we read in chapters 7-10, the king of Egypt remained stubborn and refused to give the Israelites their freedom. With each plague, the king would ask Moses to intercede to bring relief, promising to let the Israelites go but then reneging. God punished the Egyptians with a series of devastating plagues, including swarming frogs, gnats, flies, locusts, hailstorms, the death of animals, sores, and darkness. In today’s reading, Moses warns the king that Egypt’s punishment will culminate with the death of all first-born Egyptian sons along with the death of all first-born cattle.
Today’s Scripture: Exodus 11:9
The LORD had said to Moses, “The king will continue to refuse to listen to you, in order that I may do more of my miracles in Egypt.”
Today’s Reading
Exodus 11:1-10
Reflect
How does Moses describe this final punishment (verses 4-7)? What will happen to the Israelites? What are your thoughts concerning the king’s continued stubbornness in refusing to let the Israelites leave Egypt?
Pray
Lord God, teach me to listen for your voice and to be obedient to your will. Remind me of your great mercy and help me to see others through your eyes of love. Amen.
Prayer Concern
People living under the yoke of oppression
Tomorrow’s Reading
