Welcome to a year in the Bible with Daily Grace.

Moses included all begin to doubt. They start to feel like the Pharaoh is never going to let them

free and that this is all going to be for nothing. And you can read a little bit more about that

in the study day in our Christ and all of scripture study as well. But what God ends up doing
