God brought ten plagues on Egypt to cause Pharaoh to release the Israelites from slavery. With each plague, He was also showing Himself superior to the counterfeit gods in whom the people trusted.
One of the most helpful realizations is to admit we are not God. In fact, God is God and does not require our permission to hold that status.
Exodus 2:11-25 – Moses desired to deliver God’s people through his strength, but his efforts would never suffice. If God calls us to something great, we must realize His power must accomplish it.
When a culture tries to rid itself of the notion of God, it finds something more disturbing than authority. Attempting to remove divine authority from our lives actually creates moral anarchy among us.
A culture that defends its beliefs and behaviors on personal ideations of what feels true to an individual is one that is destined to fail. No matter how much “you do you,” you will ultimately have to make an account before God.
Scripture is clear that a severe period of Tribulation will impact the earth before the end. People disagree on the presence of Christians on the earth during that time.

How can we rest in God’s power when our world seems out of control? We must never forget that the Creator can still handle His creation.

We want ever so desperately to serve a deity whom we have the freedom and capability to edit. Our altered version of God would run this world into the ground because he would look too much like us.
