And Moses said to the people, Fear not, stand firm, and see the salvation of the Lord, which he will work for you today. For the Egyptians whom you see today, you shall never see again. The Lord will fight for you, and you have only to be silent. Exodus 14:13-14 Have you ever been in despair where you can’t see anything good around you? This is how the people were when escaping Pharaoh. Moses encourages them to watch the wonderful way God would rescue them. Moses had a wonderful attitude. When it looked like they were trapped, Moses prayed for God to intervene. I might not be running…

Prayer Time
Our Father in heaven, Your name is honored as holy. Your kingdom come. Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us today our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. And do not bring us into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one. [For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.] Let’s take some time and focus on prayer. Look up these verses and glean from them. Prayer! It’s a conversation with God. Do you struggle with praying? Is it intimidating to you to pray to God? Is there a right way to…

Reflection Day
Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth. Psalm 46:10 Today is Reflection Day! I love reflection day. It’s a time for me to go back and reflect on what God has spoken to me about. It gives me time to pray and seek God about what he wants to change in my life. It gives me time to make a game plan of putting action to what God is telling me and asking of me. Reflection Day gives me a slower pace to grasp what God is telling me. It gives me more time to…

Be Strong And Courageous
This book of the law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night so that you may be careful to do according to all that is written in it. For then, you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have success. Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and not be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.” Joshua 1:8-11 What does it mean to be prosperous? In the world’s view, it is possessions, money, and status (title or rank in society). In God’s view, it is meditating on His…

I Will Never Leave You
No one will be able to stand up against you all the days of your life. As I was with Moses, I will be with you; I will never leave you or forsake you. Be strong and courageous because you will lead these people to inherit the land I swore to their forefathers to give them. Be strong and very courageous. Be right or to the left, that you may be successful wherever you go. Joshua 1:5-7 How comforting that God will be with you! God won’t leave you or forsake you. This is a promise to all of his followers. He was there for Moses and Joshua; He…

Do Not Be Afraid
Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid. John 14:27 We don’t have to be afraid. We have the Holy Spirit with us forever. He lives with us and in us. The Holy Spirit gives us peace. When we have the peace of the Holy Spirit we can have the courage to face what is making us feel anxious, scared, and have no peace. We need to remember that God can help us be courageous when we have to face this world we live in.…

Lord Stood By Me
But the Lord stood by my side and gave me strength so that through me, the message might be fully proclaimed, and all the Gentiles might hear it. And I was delivered from the lion’s mouth. 2 Timothy 4:17-18 Paul was in prison. The church is in turmoil. Timothy probably didn’t have the courage to deal with the church. Paul is encouraging Timothy to speak to the church as God has called him to do. God always gives us the strength to do what he has asked us to do. When we step out in faith and are obedient, that is when the evidence of God’s strength will be revealed.…

Generously Through Jesus Christ
Whom he poured out on us generously through Jesus Christ our Savior, so that, having been justified by his grace, we might become heirs having the hope of eternal life. Titus 3:6-7 God loves ravishing. Let me show you. Let’s look at the word generously. Generously is also linked abundantly and richly. They are used in other translations. Abundantly is riches, wealth, one that is enriched. What did God pour out abundantly generously to us? He poured the Holy Spirit through Jesus Christ into us. When We choose to make God our Lord and Savior, he generously pours our the Holy Spirit. It is overwhelmingly that the more we…
