Devotional Thought: Not a People-Exodus 1

Just a few thoughts from a recent Sunday sermon...

Exodus 1

How did you become who you are today?

God's missional timing is meeting with the Israelites' readiness.

Ways He Prepared Them:

1.  Growing numerically.  70 - 2 million in 400 years

2.  Growing in unification in shared experiences. 

3.  Growing with a desire for change.

4.  Growing into a sense of resilience.

5.  Growing in what they learned living among the Egyptians.

6.  Growing a sense of convictions and values.

7.  Growing compassion for the vulnerable.

8.  Growing a justice for the wicked.

Your journey has a meaning and purpose.

Freedom to what's next.

Formation is about focus.  Where your focus is where your formation comes from.

II Corinthians 3:18

Do you have a vision for your life?  What would it take for you to make a change?

Write out your personal vision statement.  Make sure to include what you think your role in the community of faith should look like.
