Exodus 1 reveals God's unwavering faithfulness and supreme power through the story of Israel's growth in Egypt. Despite Pharaoh's oppression and attempts to suppress God's people, the Israelites continued to multiply and prosper. Through the courage of two Hebrew midwives and the preservation of His people, God demonstrated His sovereign control and deep care for Israel. Exodus 1 shows how God's purposes prevail even in the face of fierce opposition, while revealing His character through His consistent faithfulness to His promises.
God's goodness is not just a characteristic but His very nature, most perfectly displayed through Jesus Christ. Moses' story in Exodus reveals how God shows His goodness especially when we're at our lowest points. God displays His goodness through creation, His Word, and His gifts, but salvation through Jesus is His ultimate expression of goodness. We can respond to God's goodness by believing in Christ, doing good to others, practicing gratitude, and worshiping Him. By recognizing God's goodness daily, we can experience His transformative power even in difficult circumstances.
