Song by Andrew Peterson

These are the lyrics to a song by one of my favorite artist called "Passover Us."

Well, we all remember Moses by the banks of the river. He said, "Pharaoh, you've got to let my people go. You don't want me to have to tell you this ten times over, the Nile (Denial) ain't just a river you know?"

So we all remember Pharaoh he just wouldn't do it. So the plagues came upon Egypt one by one. His heart was hard and the other nine just couldn't move it. So the last was the worse the death of the firstborn son.

Oh, but The Lord He gave to Moses a word for the people. He said their firstborn sons would live to see another day. Put the blood of a lamb on doorway and death would pass right over. That night all the children of Israel prayed.

They prayed, "Lord let Your judgment passover us, Lord let Your love hoover near. So don't let Your sweet mercy passover us. Let this blood cover over us here."

So the years went by and the people they whined and they wondered. But only sacrifice atoned for the sins of the land. SO you see the priest they placed on the holy altar, the body of a spotless lamb.

And they prayed, "Lord let Your judgment passover us, Lord let Your love hoover near. So don't let Your sweet mercy passover us. Let this blood cover over us here."

Arguing With God

"But who am I that I should go to Pharaoh?" "Who shall I tell them has sent me?" These are the first two questions that Moses asked of God while standing barefoot by the burning bush. It seems the more he asked his questions the less he had his inhibitions...Remember Moses had hid his face, because he was afraid to look at God, but now it seems that he is not afraid to talk to Him, and even to argue with Him.
In Exodus 3-4 we find a lengthy discussion, or some might even call it a dispute, between God and Moses. Who do you think is going to win?
After the first two questions God proceeds to give Moses detailed information about what He wanted Moses to do. Rarely has a man ever been given such explicit instructions for carrying out God's will. And that is what we are going to look at this week, God's instructions to Moses.
What instructions is God giving you today? Let me encourage you to take time today to listen to the Father as HE instructs your day. And if we can learn anything from Moses, it is most likely a good idea not to argue:)
