When Obedience Makes Things Harder | Moses & The Plagues (Exodus 5–12)

This week on Girl, Ready Your Bible, we continue our journey through the life of Moses in Book of Exodus 5–12—and let me tell you… things did NOT go how anyone expected.Moses obeyed God. He went to Pharaoh just like he was told. But instead of things getting better… they got worse.Pharaoh made the Israelites’ lives harder. The people complained. Moses questioned God.Sound familiar?In this episode, we talk about what it feels like when obedience doesn’t lead to immediate breakthrough—and how God is still working even when everything looks like it’s falling apart.We walk through the 10 plagues, Pharaoh’s constantly changing heart, and how God was never reacting—He was moving with intention the entire time.Even when it looked messy. Even when it felt delayed. Even when no one understood what He was doing.✨ And while we touch on the 10th plague, we’ll be diving deeper into that powerful moment next episode.If you’ve ever wondered, “God, why is this getting harder instead of easier?”—this episode is for you.✨ 3 Key Takeaways1. Obedience doesn’t always lead to immediate ease. Sometimes things get harder before they get better—but that doesn’t mean you missed God.2. God is working with a bigger purpose than you can see. Every plague wasn’t random—it was intentional, revealing His power and fulfilling His promise.3. Delays and resistance don’t cancel God’s promise. Pharaoh’s back-and-forth didn’t stop God’s plan—and neither will what you’re facing.
