Exodus

May 6th – 1 John 4:12

1 John 4:12

Wouldn’t it be wonderful to talk to God face to face? For those who put their faith in Jesus Christ, one day that will be a reality. But while on earth, because of our human frailty, no one has ever seen God in His full divine glory. Even Moses was only allowed to see the back of God (Exodus 33:18–23). But we don’t need to see Him in His physical form to experience God’s love and grace. Because His Spirit lives inside every believer. And as He abides in us, the Spirit works to perfect our hearts to maturity. A maturity that allows us to both feel God’s love and demonstrate that love to others. We are God’s ambassadors on earth. And although no one can see God physically, they will see Him as they see our love. So go out of your way to show God’s love to someone today!

April 3rd – Exodus 33:14

Exodus 33:14

It’s a busy world out there. With work, families, and life in general, no wonder we get anxious, stressed, and tired. And that’s the condition our Enemy likes us best. Because usually it’s when we are at our most vulnerable. Which is why it’s so important for us to take time to rest. Physical rest, but also soul rest. We rest our souls by spending time with God. That includes reading His Word, prayer, and seeking His presence. God Knows the rest we need. And when we come to Him, we will find relaxation, peace, and restoration; everything we need to conquer the Enemy. And everything we need to not just survive, but thrive in a chaotic world! So no matter how busy your day, I urge to take a moment to truly rest in God’s presence.

November 15th – Exodus 15:1

Exodus 15:1

Many Christians frown upon celebrating holidays due to their pagan roots. But that’s not true with Thanksgiving. With the original day of December 13, 1621, the colonists started the tradition of giving thanks. A day set aside for feasting, prayer, and gratitude to God for all of His provisions. The Biblical definition of thanksgiving is “the act of acknowledging what is right about God in prayer and thanks.” And having gratitude to God comes up around 125 times throughout the Bible. That makes it pretty clear how important hearts of thanksgiving are to the Lord. The first thing the Israelites did when safely crossing the Red Sea was to sing a song of praise to God. For they knew that all good things in life only come from the Lord, especially their deliverance. And no matter the circumstance we face, there is always something to be thankful for. So this holiday and all days in between, from hearts overflowing with thanks, let our lips constantly be singing God’s praises!

Who Is Like You O Lord – Exodus 15:6-11

Exodus 15:6-11

Whenever I would read about the early Israelites, I used to feel a pang of jealousy. After all, they had God in their midst. They encountered first hand His wonders and signs. And they were constantly in His presence as He both provided and traveled with them. Oh how I wished I too could have been on that journey. And so I never understood how, when presented with the opportunity to actually hear God speak at Mt. Sinai, they turned away in fear. But that was before I experienced the worst thunderstorm I can remember. …

May 31st – Exodus 33:14

Exodus 33:14

Even though the Israelites were God’s chosen people, they continually sinned against Him. And constantly Moses interceded on their behalf. God is always looking for sincere, devout individuals to pray for their country. For as James 5:26 declares, “The earnest prayer of a righteous person has great power and wonderful results.” Our nation was one founded on the Word of God. And we as American Christians should be on our knees before the Lord. We need to be praying for the repentance of our people and that God will remain in our midst. For a country without God is doomed to fail. But to a country whose people put God at the forefront and abide in Him, He promises His continued presence, peace, and rest.
