Exodus 1:1–2:10
Exodus 1:1–14 provides the historical context for this message. After Joseph’s death, the people of Israel grew strong, but later generations were forced into slavery by the kings of Egypt. Here they toiled for centuries. Exodus tells the story of God making good on his promise to Abraham by rescuing his ancestors from oppression.
Being any kind of leader can be a terrifying feeling. Each Christian, however, no matter their status in life, is called to be a spiritual leader in the lives of the next generation.
What kind of difference do you make?
In your workplace, your home, your school, your church?
Would people say you’re a positive influence or a bad influence?
If you were to die today, what would people say about you tomorrow?
The principle stands true. It doesn’t matter your social or economic standing here on earth, God has called every born-again believer to a place of spiritual leadership.
What kind of impact are you making, while you are still breathing God’s air?
May we not relinquish our responsibilities to someone else, but instead, take ownership over our sphere of influence so that the next generation might be changed for the good.
Even though it might not always be apparent, God’s plans will be accomplished; we can try to fight His will, or we can be used by God to fulfill it.
