Day 24: Chronological Bible Story in One Year Plan
Opening Scene
A chilling silence settles over Egypt. One final warning has been given, and time is running out. This night will mark a dividing line in history—between bondage and freedom, life and death, obedience and defiance.
The Story Unfolds
In Exodus 11, God announces the final plague: the death of every firstborn in Egypt. Pharaoh’s resistance has reached its end, and judgment is unavoidable. God, however, prepares His people for deliverance.
In Exodus 12, the Passover is instituted. Each Israelite household is instructed to slaughter a lamb and mark their doorposts with its blood. That night, death passes over every home covered by the blood. Egypt mourns, Pharaoh breaks, and Israel is released. After 430 years, God’s people march out—not as slaves, but as a redeemed nation.
In Exodus 13, God establishes memorials to preserve the memory of deliverance. He leads Israel not by the shortest route, but by the safest—guiding them with a pillar of cloud by day and fire by night. Freedom has begun, but the journey is just starting.
Spiritual Insight
Deliverance requires obedience. The blood on the doorposts was not symbolic—it was essential. God’s salvation always makes a distinction between those who trust Him and those who resist Him.
Life Application
Trust God even when His path seems longer than expected. His guidance is intentional, and His protection never fails. Remember what He has delivered you from, and pass the testimony on.
Prayer
Thank You, My Father, for deliverance through obedience and faith. Help me remember the price of freedom and walk daily in gratitude. Lead me by Your presence, and teach me to trust Your direction. In Jesus' name, Amen.
Challenge for the Day
Take a moment to write down one major way God has delivered you in the past. Share that testimony with someone today as a reminder of His faithfulness.
