Have you ever experienced Scripture leaping off the page and speaking directly to your life? While camping in Crested Butte with my family, God highlighted Exodus 8:22-23 in a way that changed everything for me. As morning sunlight danced across the pond near our campsite, these ancient words about God making a "distinction" between His people and others pierced straight to my heart.
The Hebrew word for "distinction" actually means "redemption" – revealing that God wasn't just separating His people from plagues but marking them for something profound. This revelation came during a week when our world was commemorating 9/11 and reeling from the attempted assassination of Charlie Kirk. Amid such chaos and darkness, God whispered assurance: "I've got you in Goshen."
The story of God's people in Goshen isn't merely ancient history – it's a living parable for believers today. In our current landscape of fear, division, and uncertainty, God continues to make a distinction, setting apart those who belong to Him. This brings tremendous hope! Even when darkness seems overwhelming, God's people were not overcome then, and they will not be overcome now.
Over the next seven episodes, we'll journey through this powerful theme, exploring God's provision, protection, purpose, prayer, preparation, and power as demonstrated in Goshen and relevant to our lives today. Whether you're a long-time follower of Christ or someone curious about what it means to have a relationship with God, these conversations are for you.
We don't have to navigate these challenging times alone. God is working in and through us, creating these "Days of Distinction." Join us as we discover together how God has you in your own Goshen. Subscribe now and be encouraged as we seek Him and speak His truth into the lives of those entrusted to us.
