How can we apply Moses and Aaron's obedience to our daily lives? Setting the Scene Pharaoh was defiant, the people were weary, and the stakes could not have been higher. Into that tension stepped two brothers, Moses and Aaron, simply deciding to do exactly what God said. Key Verse “So Moses and Aaron did just as the LORD had commanded them.” (Exodus 7:6) What Obedience Looked Like for Moses and Aaron • Immediate action—no delay, no bargaining • Unified effort—both brothers moved together instead of independently • Total alignment—“just as” indicates no editing of God’s instructions • Courage in the face of opposition—obedience continued even when Pharaoh rejected them • Perseverance—plagues unfolded over time, yet their obedience never let up Translating Obedience into Everyday Choices • Act without procrastination when Scripture speaks clearly • Stay in step with other believers rather than obey in isolation • Follow the entire counsel of God instead of selecting what feels comfortable • Keep obeying when results seem slow or resistance rises • Let obedience shape schedules, budgets, conversations, entertainment, and relationships Anchoring Obedience with Other Scriptures • John 14:15 — “If you love Me, you will keep My commandments.” • James 1:22 — “Be doers of the word, and not hearers only. Otherwise, you deceive yourselves.” • Psalm 119:60 — “I hurried without hesitating to keep Your commandments.” • 1 Samuel 15:22 — “Behold, obedience is better than sacrifice.” • Luke 11:28 — “Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and obey it.” • Hebrews 11:24-26 — Moses valued eternal reward over earthly treasure A Closing Charge Like Moses and Aaron, step forward today and do just as the Lord has commanded. Obedience unlocks courage, unity, perseverance, and blessing, and it places every believer in the flow of God’s unfolding plan. |
