Revolution

Oppressed thousands in Egypt cry out for relief. It’s the story in today’s newspaper. It’s also the story in Exodus. Years of oppression and people will cry out for relief. And God heard them. And he sent Moses to lead them out. Not with a military force equal to that of Pharaoh, but with the words of God, to let his people go. Deliverance. They needed it then. We need it now. And God is the redeemer. It took 40 years for the Hebrews to navigate their wilderness, a lifetime for all but 2 of them.
So, today, when our deliverance seems to be taking our whole life, I guess it’s rather scriptural! Overcoming can seem to take forever! But we know that this revolution, the overcoming of evil by the blood of Jesus, is the REAL revolution. This one is the real thing. Choose to take heart, our deliverer is Jesus!
