Come Follow Me Exodus 7–13 | Save & share this insight
What if Pharaoh isn’t in the story… but in us?

This week in Come, Follow Me (April 6–12), we read Exodus 7–13—
a story of deliverance, power, and a heart that refuses to let go.

Pharaoh saw the signs.
He witnessed the miracles.
He was warned, again and again.

And still… he hardened his heart.

As Jared Halverson teaches in this week’s Unshaken Saints episode,
the real question isn’t just whether Pharaoh would let Israel go—
it’s whether we are willing to let go of our own “Egypt.”

What are we holding onto,
that God is asking us to release?

Sometimes the real bo***ge isn’t around us—
it’s within us.

Pride.
Fear.
Habits we justify.
Things we keep gripping, even when God is inviting us into freedom.

“Let my people go” wasn’t just a command to Pharaoh.
It’s an invitation to us.

An invitation to loosen our grip.
To trust God more than what we’re holding onto.
To finally step into the freedom He’s already prepared.

Maybe this week, the story changes…
when we do.

Holy Week | Easter Sunday

This is the moment everything changed.

What began in sorrow…
what passed through suffering…
what seemed to end in silence—

did not end at all.

The stone was rolled away.
The tomb was empty.
And Jesus Christ rose.

Not untouched by what He endured…
but carrying the marks of it.

He lives—
with wounded feet,
with pierced hands,
with scars that did not disappear…
but became a witness.

A witness that love did not fail.
That sacrifice was not in vain.
That nothing is beyond His reach.

And because He lives…
hope did not stay in the tomb.

It reaches.
It restores.
It still comes.

Even now.
Even here.
Even to you.

His hope extends to you.

Where in your life do you need that hope today?

Holy Week | Saturday: The Silent Day

There is no miracle recorded today.
No crowd.
No teaching.
No visible answer.

Only a sealed tomb…
and hearts that didn’t understand what had just happened.

The One they trusted…
the One they believed would save them…
now lay still.

And heaven… felt quiet.
Hope… felt almost lost.

All they could do… was wait.

But this day was never empty.

While the world sat in silence…
Jesus Christ was still working.
Reaching beyond the veil.
Lifting the forgotten.
Preparing a victory no one could yet see.

And maybe you’ve felt that kind of silence too.

A prayer that hasn’t been answered.
A promise that feels delayed.
A moment where heaven seems… quiet.

But Silent Saturday teaches something sacred:

God is still working…
even when you cannot see it.

Nothing is forgotten.
Nothing is wasted.
And you… are never alone.

Even in the silence.

Holy Week | Friday

The sky grows dark.

The noise has faded.
The crowd that once shouted
has fallen quiet.

And there, on a cross—
Jesus Christ remains.

Not because He was forced to stay.
But because He chose to.

Elder Jeffrey R. Holland taught that even in His final moments,
the Savior was utterly alone—

No one could reach where He had to go.
No one could take what He had to bear.

And yet…

He did not come down.

He stayed through the pain.
Through the weight.
Through the silence.

“Greater love hath no man than this…”

Not just words—
but a reality, unfolding in that very moment.

This is what love looks like
when it costs everything.

This is what love does—
it stays.

So when you wonder if you matter…
when you question if you are seen…
when the weight of your life feels too much to carry…

remember this:

He would not come down.

Because of you.

What does it mean to you
that He stayed on the cross?

Holy Week | Thursday

The night grows quiet again.

No crowds.
No triumph.
No one left to steady what is about to begin.

In the garden of Gethsemane,
Jesus Christ goes a little further…
and falls on His face.

Elder Jeffrey R. Holland taught that in that moment,
the Savior faced something we cannot fully comprehend—

to bear everything.

Not just sin…
but sorrow.
Not just mistakes…
but suffering.

Every loneliness.
Every grief.
Every moment you have ever wondered if anyone understands.

He began to be “sore amazed.”
Very heavy.

And still…
there was no one who could go with Him.

No one who could step in.
No one who could lessen it.

None were with Him.

And yet—

He did not turn away.

He did not step back.

He did not leave it unfinished.

He chose to descend below it all…
so that you would never have to face anything alone.

So when your own life feels heavy—
when the path asks more than you feel you can give…

remember this:

He has already been there.

Fully.
Personally.
Completely.

And He stayed.

Before you move on tonight…

What would it look like
to receive what He is offering you—
fully… and personally?

Holy Week — Wednesday.
A quiet moment… that changed everything.

Judas went to the chief priests and asked a single question:
“What will you give me?”

And for thirty pieces of silver…
he agreed to betray Jesus Christ.

It wasn’t loud.
It wasn’t public.
It was a quiet decision—made in the heart.

And that’s what makes this day so personal.

Because betrayal doesn’t always look like rejection.
Sometimes it looks like distraction… compromise… choosing something lesser, when we know something greater.

This moment in Holy Week invites a deeper kind of reflection:
not just what Judas did…
but what we might be trading, without even realizing it.

Jesus Christ still chose to move forward.
Still chose to love.
Still chose the cross—for you.

Take a quiet moment today to ask:
What am I trading… for things that matter most?

Holy Week | Tuesday: Stay Ready 🤍

On this day, Jesus taught a quiet but urgent truth…
through the parable of the ten virgins.

Not about fear.
Not about perfection.

But about preparation.

The kind that happens in small, unseen moments.
Drop by drop.
Choice by choice.

Ronald A. Rasband reminds us that no one can borrow oil—
because spiritual readiness is something we gather personally.

And maybe that’s the invitation for today…

Not to do everything.
Not to rush.

But to simply ask:
What drops am I adding to my lamp today?

Save this as a quiet reminder for Holy Week.
Share it with someone walking this week with you.

Holy Week | Monday: Jesus Cleanses the Temple

There’s a moment in Holy Week that feels… intense.

Not quiet.
Not gentle.
But deeply intentional.

Jesus walks into the temple—and clears it.

Not out of anger without purpose…
but out of love for what is sacred.

Because what was meant to be a house of prayer…
had slowly become something else.

And maybe that’s why this moment matters so much.

Because it’s not just about the temple then—
it’s about the temple now.

Your heart.
Your life.
Your space.

What has quietly crept in…
that doesn’t belong?

Noise.
Distraction.
Pressure.
Fear.

And what would it look like…
to let Him gently clear it?

To make room again—for peace, for presence, for Him.

This Holy Week, don’t rush past Monday.

There is something powerful in the cleansing.

Because what He clears…
He also restores.

If this spoke to you, save this for later this week 🤍
And tell me in the comments:

What is one thing you feel prompted to clear, to make more room for Him?

Have you ever felt like your life is just… waiting?

Like things aren’t moving the way you hoped…
or the answers aren’t coming as quickly as you want?

Joseph probably felt that too.

Years of waiting.
Years of things not making sense.
Years where it could have felt like God was silent.

But looking back… none of it was wasted.

God was guiding him the whole time.
Quietly.
Patiently.
Intentionally.

And maybe—just maybe—
He’s doing the same thing in your life right now.

Even in the waiting.
Even in the unknown.

This is a small moment from this week’s sleep meditation
“Resting in the Good Weaved by God”

If you need peace tonight… it’s there for you. 🤍

There’s a version of Joseph’s story we don’t talk about enough.

The pit wasn’t a detour.
The prison wasn’t a punishment.
The betrayal wasn’t the end of the story.

God wasn’t absent in any of it — He was quietly shaping something Joseph couldn’t see yet.

If you’re in a season that feels heavy, broken, or unfinished — you might be closer to your palace than you think.

Which part of Joseph’s story are you sitting in right now? 👇

Could you forgive someone who changed your life forever?

This week in Come Follow Me (Genesis 42–50), we witness one of the most powerful moments in all of scripture—Joseph facing the very brothers who betrayed him.

After years of suffering—being sold into slavery, falsely accused, and imprisoned—Joseph finally stands in a position of power. And yet, instead of revenge, he chooses reconciliation.

His words reveal a profound eternal perspective:
“Ye thought evil against me; but God meant it unto good.” (Genesis 50:20)

Joseph understood something that is difficult for us to see in the middle of our own pain—
that God can consecrate even the wounds we did not choose into something purposeful, redemptive, and ultimately good.

Reconciliation, in Joseph’s story, is not denial.
It is not pretending the betrayal didn’t happen.
It is seeing clearly—and still choosing to release the debt.

Through Jesus Christ, reconciliation becomes possible not because justice disappears, but because mercy transforms what justice alone cannot heal.

As you study this week’s Come, Follow Me lesson, consider:

What would it look like to see your story the way Joseph did?
Where might God be working good—long before you can recognize it?

This short excerpt is taken from a BYU devotional called ‘Reconciliation’ by Robert W. Blair who powerfully retells the story of Joseph to help deepen understanding and reflection and the power of reconciliation.
