[[-SOAP HUB]] | [[-Exodus Overview]] | [[Exodus 01]] ## Title: Fear God Above All Else ## Scripture: (Exodus 1:21) “And because the midwives feared God, he made households for them.” (NET) ## Observation: When it comes to the ethics of living in this world, we can sometimes become confused over how we interact with the various seasons of life. We live in two kingdoms at once, the kingdom of God and the kingdoms of this world. Our highest law is the kingdom of God. This almost always makes us great citizens in the kingdoms of this world, because we end up obeying the laws of the land by default. However, there will come times when the laws of the land will not agree with the law of God. When this happens, we always obey the LORD. The midwives disobeyed the law of Pharaoh because the higher law of God prevailed. When we choose to obey God rather than men, the LORD will bless us for it. This is usually not easy, but it is holy. ## Application: Make sure you obey God above all else. ## Prayer: Thank You, Jesus, for leading us into all righteousness.
