—Deuteronomy 6:20-25
by: Kristin Camenga.
The Israelites were “brought out” so that God could “bring them in.” They were not simply rescued from their slavery in Egypt, they were rescued with the purpose of fulfilling the promise to bring them into the Promised Land. As Christians, God has rescued each of us from sin and self. From what specific things or circumstances has God brought you out? Have you stopped to appreciate what God is bringing you in to as a result? How should we respond to this mighty rescue? “You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies” (1 Corinthians 6:19-20, NIV).
