So Moses went back home to Jethro, his father-in-law. “Please let me return to my relatives in Egypt,” Moses said. “I don’t even know if they are still alive.”  Exodus 4:18 (NLT)

Before Moses left Midian, the Lord said to him, “Return to Egypt, for all those who wanted to kill you have died.”  So Moses took his wife and sons, put them on a donkey, and headed back to the land of Egypt. In his hand he carried the staff of God.  And the Lord told Moses, “When you arrive back in Egypt, go to Pharaoh and perform all the miracles I have empowered you to do. But I will harden his heart so he will refuse to let the people go.   Then you will tell him, ‘This is what the Lord says: Israel is my firstborn son.  I commanded you, “Let my son go, so he can worship me.” But since you have refused, I will now kill your firstborn son!’”

On the way to Egypt, at a place where Moses and his family had stopped for the night, the Lord confronted him and was about to kill him.  But Moses’ wife, Zipporah, took a flint knife and circumcised her son. She touched his feet with the foreskin and said, “Now you are a bridegroom of blood to me.”  (When she said “a bridegroom of blood,” she was referring to the circumcision.) After that, the Lord left him alone.  Exodus 4:19-26 (NLT)

“All must be circumcised. Your bodies will bear the mark of my everlasting covenant.”  Genesis 17:13 (NLT)

“Yet God, in his grace, freely makes us right in his sight. He did this through Christ Jesus when he freed us from the penalty for our sins. For God presented Jesus as the sacrifice for sin. People are made right with God when they believe that Jesus sacrificed his life, shedding his blood.” Romans 3:24-25 (NLT)

STRUGGLING TO OBEY AND OBEYING
IS ALWAYS BETTER THAN DISOBEYING 

 

ACKNOWLEDGING GOD IS GOD MEANS ACKNOWLEDGING YOUR NOT GOD
