The Lord said to Moses, “Now you will see what I will do to Pharaoh: Because of my mighty hand he will let them go; because of my mighty hand he will drive them out of his country. I am the Lord.”
Exodus 6:1-2
“How has 2020 been a year of reckoning for you?” Much of what has been happening this year has been a reckoning for our world, our nation, and individually. A reckoning is different from an apocalypse because the main purpose of reckoning is not destruction or bringing things to an end; the main purpose of reckoning is refining, improving, and restoration. God has allowed the folly of our ways to bring reckoning to ourselves; we have not been good stewards of the earth, we have been far to narcissistic, and we have neglected our neighbors, just like ancient Egypt. While America may resemble ancient Egypt more than ancient Israel, God still desires to restore America just like He desired to restore Egypt. Hopefully, America can make wiser decisions after 2020 than Egypt has in the past.
