Life Applications from the Bible – Vol. 44
Life Applications from the Bible – Vol. 44
As I continue reading in the book of Exodus, I keep finding wonderful encouragement and life applications. I am so amazed how the entire Bible speaks so clearly to us. I hope you will join me as I continue reading about the Exodus.
Life Applications
- Exodus 9:6, 10, 25
- Pharaoh’s hardened heart brought about bad consequences for the entire country.
- If we are in any type of leadership position, we need to take it seriously. Every decision should be a matter of prayer, because what we do affects others.
- We need to be diligent in our research when electing officials at every level. Their decisions will affect us. We can only hope they make their decisions based on prayer as well.
- Ex. 10:1-2 – When Problems Occur
- The Lord works them out, and we get to witness it.
- We end up with a personal testimony to share so others can see what He has done as well.
- Our personal faith can grow.
- God gets the glory.
- Ex. 12:22b
- This was not just a frivolous restriction; it was an urgent life-saving measure.
- Many times people think that if they follow the Lord, they will have a lot of restrictions put on them. Looking back on my life, I can see where many of my mess-ups and painful experiences could have been avoided if I had followed His “restrictions.” They are not restrictions but protections – wrapped in love!
- Exodus 13:17
- The shortest route is not always the best way to go.
- The easiest route is not always the most beneficial.
- When things take longer than we think they should, and we don’t understand why we are encountering roadblocks in reaching our goals, remember that there is a reason. If our goals are God-given, we will get there in His time. He sees the overall picture and knows what is best and where we need protection.
- For more on this topic, see “If We Could Only See It From God’s Perspective.”

If you have joined me recently, these weekly life applications from the Bible are examples of some of the comments I write in the Bibles I am giving to my grandchildren when they graduate from high school. Click here to see the post where I explain this eternal gift idea.
I pray these weekly life applications help you in some way. Please share any encouragement and lessons you have learned this week.

Catching up on your posts as we have been out of town all weekend. We definitely had several examples of His perfect timing while we were gone so I love that you followed your heart and wrote this post. Waiting for Him to work things out is one of THE hardest parts of this journey. Thank you for the continued encouragement. Hugs, CoCo
You are so right – the waiting is the hardest part! I hope you enjoyed your time away!
Thank you for the reminder that our decisions are not isolated to ourselves. They can affect those around us – for good or bad. Sobering reminder as we read of Pharoah’s choices. May we always seek the Lord for wisdom and guidance, and obey His voice.
Amen!!!
