Scripture: Exodus 18:11
"Now
I know that the LORD is greater than all the gods; indeed, it was proven when
they dealt proudly against the people."
Insights: Those first three words are
absolutely crucial to the passage found in Exodus eighteen. As I reminded you yesterday, verse eight was
Moses’ witnessing opportunity with Jethro, his father-in-law. Theologians believe verse eleven was Jethro’s
conversion statement. Remember, Jethro
was a priest of Median. In fact, some
historians believe he was the high priest of Median. The people of Median worshiped multiple gods
and Jethro was a leader that helped facilitate such worship. On hearing Moses’ testimony, however, he came
to the realization that Yahweh really was the true God and it was for that
reason today’s verse states, “Now I
know….” God is still offering salvation
to all who have not entered into a saving relationship with His Son,
Jesus. Tomorrow, we are going to go into
more depth into the means by which salvation is offered to us. I encourage you to make certain you read
tomorrows Thoughts by Scott and make
certain you are in a relationship with Jesus.
Questions:
- Have you received the salvation being offered to you by
God?
- If you have not received this gift of salvation, then
what is holding you back?
Prayer: Father, You
were so gracious to Jethro and You desire to be gracious to me and all who do
not know Your Son, Jesus, as Lord and Savior.
Strengthen me to be more bold in sharing the gospel with those who do
not know You. Amen.
