Thoughtful Devotions: Exodus

by Adam Springsteen

Exodus - leaving behind the bondage of Egypt and journeying to the promised land. In this book of the Bible, we find a God who remembers His people. He develops a leader to deliver the Israelites, and that is Moses. Moses has his own difficulties, but eventually is ready for the task. The Israelites, when finally set free, complain and consider Egypt to be better. Exodus is a book that highlights the frailty of humans and our inability to see the greater things He has in store for us. Instead of trusting, we often complain. However, where He is leading us is far greater than we can imagine. On the way, He prepares us by giving us instructions. For the Israelites, it was the Ten Commandments and other laws. He also wants to be with us, as He instructed the Israelites to build the Tabernacle. This devotional, the second in a larger series, will encourage you to put your trust in God, who is our great Deliverer. It will challenge you to be content instead of complaining. It will help you prepare yourself and equip you to make the pilgrimage to the promised land.

About the author

Adam Springsteen resides in Paw Paw, MI. He has two brothers, one older and one younger. In 2003, he married his wife and today has three kids, two boys and a girl. The death of his dad in 2004 was part of the inspiration for his first book.

He graduated from Southwestern Michigan College in 2012 with three associate degrees (Accounting, Business, and IT Support). In 2023, he finished his bachelor's in organizational leadership from Urshan University. He earned his Master's in Business Administration in 2025 from Anderson University (SC).

During his time at Southwestern Michigan College, he took a creative writing class with author Michael Collins, who inspired him to write his first book, Awakening Dreams. Always feeling he had a knack for writing, he decided to seek out publishing. Since then, he has written a sequel to Awakening Dreams, nine devotionals, and a book on leadership.

In his spare time, he enjoys reading, listening to music, taking walks with the family, and going on vacations. As time has passed, he finds solace and an ever-growing closeness to his family. He attends church regularly and has done so his whole life.

In addition to drawing inspiration from his dad’s passing, he finds additional strength from the internal conflicts he has faced. He hopes that his books will be an enjoyment and a blessing while encouraging others to seek and live out their dreams.
