The Exodus To Rest
This morning I was thinking of the Exodus of the children of Israel and the mixed multitude from Egypt. They were in search of the promise, the land flowing with milk and honey, the place of peace and prosperity forever with their God, Yahuah (Lord). THey were looking for that place to rest with God.
Exodus 13:1 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
2 Sanctify unto me all the firstborn, whatsoever openeth the womb among the children of Israel, both of man and of beast: it is mine.
3 And Moses said unto the people, Remember this day, in which ye came out from Egypt, out of the house of bondage; for by strength of hand the Lord brought you out from this place: there shall no leavened bread be eaten.
4 This day came ye out in the month Abib.
5 And it shall be when the Lord shall bring thee into the land of the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, which he sware unto thy fathers to give thee, a land flowing with milk and honey, that thou shalt keep this service in this month.
6 Seven days thou shalt eat unleavened bread, and in the seventh day shall be a feast to the Lord.
7 Unleavened bread shall be eaten seven days; and there shall no leavened bread be seen with thee, neither shall there be leaven seen with thee in all thy quarters.
8 And thou shalt shew thy son in that day, saying, This is done because of that which the Lord did unto me when I came forth out of Egypt.
9 And it shall be for a sign unto thee upon thine hand, and for a memorial between thine eyes, that the Lord’s law may be in thy mouth: for with a strong hand hath the Lord brought thee out of Egypt.
10 Thou shalt therefore keep this ordinance in his season from year to year.
If we will take the journey from the work week into the Sabbath with our God, Yahuah (Lord), then we too can enjoy the land flowing with milk and honey.
Prayer
Father, we exalt You as the Most High King. We love You. We want to be in Your kingdom, to have Your kingdom be on this earth. Send us today Your overwhelming provision. Forgive us when we stray from Your ways. Watch over us to heal us, deliver us, and keep us safe. In Yeshua’s (Jesus’) name. Amen.
