Passover 2014: Final Thoughts

eDevotion
Encouragement for your daily walk with God

Pesach [Passover] for 2014 has ended. Each year we remind ourselves of God’s mighty power, revealed in His redemptive involvement with Israel. We also need to be reminded that God’s mighty, delivering power is available today!

Every Christ follower understands there are “Egypts” from which we need deliverance — the bondage of worldliness, carnality and more. And just like the Israelites, we need God to lead us out of the burdens of this world and into His glorious freedom.

In the Passover story, God delivered His people with an outstretched arm. The Hebrew word for arm is z’roah. It is a picture of His strength. His z’roah is mighty, and quite sufficient to deliver from what hinders. His z’roah did signs and wonders—and He is able to do the same today. 

Be encouraged. Although Passover 2014 is over, God’s z’roah is still at work! What is holding you back? What has you in bondage? To what are you enslaved? Call out to the God of the Passover. He is still in the delivering business. When He displays His z’roah on your behalf, you can leave your bondage singing, “Free at last, free at last! Thank God Almighty, I’m FREE AT LAST!” 

And the LORD brought us forth out of Egypt with a mighty hand, and with an outstretched arm [z’roah], and with great terribleness, and with signs, and with wonders. Deuteronomy 26:8
