Friday, February 21st | Exodus 4

Passage:
21 And the Lord said to Moses, “When you go back to Egypt, see that you do before Pharaoh all the miracles that I have put in your power. But I will harden his heart, so that he will not let the people go. 22 Then you shall say to Pharaoh, ‘Thus says the Lord, Israel is my firstborn son, 23 and I say to you, “Let my son go that he may serve me.” But if you refuse to let him go, behold, I will kill your firstborn son.’”
(Exodus 4:21-23 ESV)

Song:

Lyrics:
Oh the Lord our strength and song
Highest praise to Him belongs
Christ the Lord the conqu'ring King
Your name we raise Your triumphs sing

Praise the Lord our mighty warrior
Praise the Lord the glorious One
By His hand we stand in vict'ry
By His name we overcome

Though the storms of hell pursue
In darkest night we worship You
You divide the raging sea
From death to life You safely lead

All the saints and angels bow
Hosts of heaven crying out
Glory glory to the King
You reign for all eternity
Bridge
The Lord shall reign forever and ever

Prayer:
You who overcame death when you yourself arose, and who also will make every person arise … You who makes us worthy of you, and cleanses us from all our sins, and makes us right in your presence, and hears our prayers … You who brought us into your household, and always teaches us your good ways, and does us good, and does not abandon us to serve an evil lord, as we once did … You call us back to the right way, and you lead us to the door, and open it to us, and give us the bread of eternal life and the drink of life’s well. You who warns us away from sin, and teaches us to judge rightly, and then to do righteousness … You strengthened us, and still do, in our belief, so unbelievers will not harm us. You have given us, and still do give us, understanding to overcome the error of those who teach that there is no reward or accountability after death. You who have released us from slavery, you have prepared eternal life for us, and prepared us for eternal life. Amen.
—Augustine of Hippo
