LABELS
Today's reading: Exodus 1-4

I'm taking an Old Testament Survey class through the Institute for Christian Education. It's fascinating! I never expected it to be so, but it's so intriguing and it's so helpful in understanding the 'newer' passages of Scripture.

Like the list of excuses Moses presented God as to why he was NOT the guy for the job of leading the Israelites out of Egypt. Did you know the reasons he gave to God in chapters 3 and 4 are in direct correlation to labels someone applied to him in chapter 2?

"The next day as Moses was out visiting his people again, he saw two Hebrew men fighting. What are you doing, hitting your neighbor like that? Moses said to the one in the wrong. Who do you think you are? the man replied..." Exodus 2:13-14 NLT

Moses repeated what he'd been told.

Do you do the same? Are you introducing yourself using the titles, names and low-down descriptions spoken to you by satan?
