Exodus 10-12, Psalm 20
Exodus 12:40-41 (NLT)
“The people of Israel had lived in Egypt for 430 years. In
fact, it was on the last day of the 430th year that all the Lord’s forces left
the land.”
In Exodus 12:40–41, we see the fulfillment of the Lord’s
promise to Abraham. Abraham’s descendants lived in Egypt for 430 years—first as
honored guests and later as enslaved people. They left Egypt on the very
anniversary of their arrival, demonstrating to believers the sovereignty of the
Lord and the precision of His timing.
I love these verses because they remind me that the Lord
always fulfills His promises in His own time and in His own way. Some have even
described the Israelites’ departure on the exact anniversary of their arrival
as supernatural because of its precision. From a human perspective, such timing
would be impossible to plan. Yet these verses show believers that Father-God is
sovereign over history itself, and that we can trust His timing even when it
feels delayed to us.
I have only one experience so far in my life where the
Lord’s timing felt almost supernatural, but it continues to fill me with awe.
When I was preparing to move to another state, the Holy Spirit impressed on me
that I would find a job within six months of relocating. Almost exactly six
months after my move, I received an offer letter. I had applied for the
position the week before and received the offer the following week. Through
that experience, the Lord showed me that I could trust His promises and His timing,
and that He is faithful to provide.
If these verses resonate with you—if you feel drawn to place
your faith in Jesus Christ, the One you can trust to fulfill His promises—this
may be your moment. Open your heart to Him. Speak to Him in prayer, expressing
your trust, your desire to walk with Him, and your willingness to welcome His
presence into your life. God is faithful and ready to meet you exactly where
you are.
Heavenly Father, I give You my life. Please forgive me for
all my sins and wash me clean through the blood of Jesus. I believe in my heart
that You raised Jesus from the dead, and I confess with my mouth that Jesus is
my Lord and Savior. Right now, I receive Your forgiveness and the gift of
salvation. Thank You, Lord—I am saved, I am forgiven, I am clean, and I am made
new in Jesus’ name. Amen.
If you prayed this prayer, welcome to the family of
Father-God! I encourage you to find and join a Holy Spirit–filled, full-Gospel,
Bible-based church where you can grow in your faith and experience the Lord’s
