The Lord blanketed Egypt in darkness, for they had defied105:28 As in Greek and Syriac versions; Hebrew reads had not defied. his commands to let his people go.

They forgot God, their savior, who had done such great things in Egypt— 22such wonderful things in the land of Ham, such awesome deeds at the Red Sea. 23So he declared he would destroy them. But Moses, his chosen one, stepped between the Lord and the people. He begged him to turn from his anger and not destroy them.

Again and again he rescued them, but they chose to rebel against him, and they were finally destroyed by their sin.

Lord God my Father,

Keep me close so your light can protect me from the darkness around me. Make your path obvious to me so I can only follow you. I praise you and worship you in all things because your plan is perfect. Rescue me from the distractions ahead with your Peace.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen
