Day 2: Obedience in the Face of Uncertainty Reading: Exodus 12:31-42
- Devotional: The Israelites left Egypt in haste, not even having time to let their bread rise. They stepped out in faith, following God's instructions despite the uncertainty ahead.

Meditate on the depth of God's love that would cause Him to give His only Son for your salvation. How does this truth change the way you view yourself and others? Allow the reality of Christ's sacrifice to transform your heart, motivating you to live a life of gratitude and service to Him.
Day 4: Breaking Free from Pride and Stubbornness Reading: Proverbs 16:18-20

Ask God to soften your heart and help you surrender fully to His will, trusting that His ways are higher than yours.

Consider starting a gratitude journal or sharing your testimony with others as a way to keep God's faithfulness at the forefront of your mind.
