Historical background
It records the history of Israel's deliverance through Moses after roughly 400 years of bondage in Egypt. The exodus is the most important act of salvation in the whole Old Testament, and every prophet after it remembered this event as testimony to God's faithfulness.
What to watch for
Look at the contrast between God's sovereignty and Pharaoh's hardened heart across the ten plagues.
Consider how the design of the tabernacle and the sacrificial laws foreshadow the ministry of Jesus.
Feel God's patience and love toward a grumbling people in the wilderness.
Where this book falls in the reading plan
In the app
Reading is where it starts, not where it stops.
Today's passage and devotional are yours to read here on the web. The app takes it from there — a place to write what stayed with you, receive a reflection on top of it, and watch the days add up.
A reflection arrives on what you wrote
Write what stayed with you, and a paragraph comes back — read against the passage you just finished. It does not lecture, and it does not grade you.
Your devotions gather into a record
What you write and what comes back stay on the calendar. Your streak is counted for you, and any past devotion opens again whenever you want it.
Today's verse on your lock screen
The widget puts the day's passage up each morning, so you read it once more in passing without opening anything.
160 topical series and a reading plan
Start wherever you are — 'weakness', 'waiting'. The one-year Bible reading plan, a Proverb a day, and the anonymous prayer box are all in there too.
