“Perform a Miracle.”

Read Exodus 7-8
 
Exodus 7:8-9 The LORD said to Moses and Aaron, 9 “When Pharaoh says to you, ‘Perform a miracle,’ then say to Aaron, ‘Take your staff and throw it down before Pharaoh,’ and it will become a snake.”
 
CAN you imagine Aaron’s and Moses’ conversation had on the way to Pharaoh’s court in response to God’s instructions? For example, Aaron might have said, “You mean to tell me, Moses, that this staff in your hand will turn into a snake? I can’t believe it! Can we trust God to do this?” And Moses would likely say, “It is unbelievable, Aaron. But I do believe – and I know for certain – we can trust God to do this. And I’ll tell you why. I’ve seen God do some very unnatural miracles. In the desert, he burned a bush, but the fire didn’t consume the bush. He made my hand leprous, and then he healed it. He turned my staff into a snake that day, too. I’ve seen him do this and more. We can trust him today. Let’s throw down that staff, so God will demonstrate his power to Pharaoh!”
    Moses had seen and experienced God at work. He has come to personally know the certainty of God’s commands. As Moses went to the highest power on earth, he took the highest power of heaven with him.
    You can do the same. When life’s circumstances are overpowering you, remember the ways God has demonstrated his miraculous powers to the world and to you. See the Lord’s power over the world as you take up the weapons of prayer, faith, hope and love. He has given these to you. Take them with you to encounter the opposition. See what God will do.
 
Romans 1:16 I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God for the salvation of everyone who believes: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile.
