Key Verse: Exodus 14:14
14 Jehovah shall fight for you, and you shall be silent.
Devotion:
I received this verse on my mobile phone this morning and thought I would dwell on its words. My brain is not up to much today having a headache but we must continue to give out God’s Word whenever we can; not because someone has said so, not because it is our duty, and not even because it is the only way that people will get to hear the truth. We should be doing this because we want to. I want people to be able to hear the truth. I want people to be encouraged that God’s Word is that truth we all seek in our souls. I want to be able to give people the option of hearing God’s side of the story and not the corrupted combined works of man. I do my best to uphold God’s Word as the truth because that is what I want to do for my God.
We can go back through our bibles and find so many places where He has instructed man in what is in man’s best interests. We can go to just as many places and see that man has chosen his own path instead of listening to that will of God. In each place where man has chosen to follow the will of God we see how God has allowed man to prosper and yet in each place where man has chosen to follow his own will we see how those times have ended in man getting himself into a pickle and having to call on God for a way out.
My plan in life is to no longer walk away from God and seek my own ways but to walk toward Him and with Him so that I can try to live my life closer to His will for my life. I certainly will not get it right all the time and I will certainly fall along the way, but I will continue trying. I know that when push comes to shove God will always be there for me. That does not mean that I will not fall and break a leg now and again, but it does mean that I know that God is with me – that comfort can only come from God and I am happy that I know Him in my life. He is my God and I am His!
Points to Ponder:
How are you doing?
Are you listening to what God actually says?
