HEAR Journaling - Exodus 10

Highlight Exodus 10:16-20 New Living Translation

16 Pharaoh quickly summoned Moses and Aaron. “I have sinned against the Lord your God and against you,” he confessed. 17 “Forgive my sin, just this once, and plead with the Lord your God to take away this death from me.” 18 So Moses left Pharaoh’s court and pleaded with the Lord.

 19 The Lord responded by shifting the wind, and the strong west wind blew the locusts into the Red Sea.[b] Not a single locust remained in all the land of Egypt. 20 But the Lord hardened Pharaoh’s heart again, so he refused to let the people go.           

Explain – Pharaoh summoned Moses and repented for his sin against the Lord God, but when the plague was removed the Lord God hardened Pharoah’s heart again.

Apply – Have we perhaps repented to God for past sin to return to that sin rather than follow God?  God will turn us over to the consequences of our own sin.  The only true hope we have is to surrender to Jesus completely and fully, make him the Lord of our lives.  Continually and constantly seeking Him honestly, faithfully, and obediently through eternity.

Romans 1:28 ESV And since they did not see fit to acknowledge God, God gave them up to a debased mind to do what ought not to be done.

Titus 1:16 ESV They profess to know God, but they deny him by their works. They are detestable, disobedient, unfit for any good work.

Romans 1:24-28 ESV Therefore God gave them up in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, to the dishonoring of their bodies among themselves, because they exchanged the truth about God for a lie and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever! Amen. For this reason God gave them up to dishonorable passions. For their women exchanged natural relations for those that are contrary to nature; and the men likewise gave up natural relations with women and were consumed with passion for one another, men committing shameless acts with men and receiving in themselves the due penalty for their error. And since they did not see fit to acknowledge God, God gave them up to a debased mind to do what ought not to be done.

2 Corinthians 13:5 ESV Examine yourselves, to see whether you are in the faith. Test yourselves. Or do you not realize this about yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in you?—unless indeed you fail to meet the test!

1 Corinthians 9:27 ESV But I discipline my body and keep it under control, lest after preaching to others I myself should be disqualified.

James 1:22 ESV But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.

Hebrews 10:39 ESV But we are not of those who shrink back and are destroyed, but of those who have faith and preserve their souls.

Respond – Lord, I thank You for the new heart and new life that I have with You and in You. I strive to follow You faithfully and obediently forever.  I pray for those with hardened hearts that they will accept You as lord and savior.  Amen.

HEAR Journaling - Exodus 9

Highlight Exodus 9:33-35 New Living Translation

33 So Moses left Pharaoh’s court and went out of the city. When he lifted his hands to the Lord, the thunder and hail stopped, and the downpour ceased. 34 But when Pharaoh saw that the rain, hail, and thunder had stopped, he and his officials sinned again, and Pharaoh again became stubborn.[d] 35 Because his heart was hard, Pharaoh refused to let the people leave, just as the Lord had predicted through Moses.      

Explain – Pharaoh’s heart was so hardened that his people suffered greatly.  Notice that the Israelites were protected from the plagues, but the Egyptians suffered all.

Apply – Do we have some blind sides?  Perhaps we have hardened hearts in some aspects of our own lives that not only harm ourselves but others as well.  We need not remain in this depraved state, but we can repent and submit to the Lord’s will for our lives.

2 Timothy 3:1-4 ESV But understand this, that in the last days there will come times of difficulty. For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, proud, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, heartless, unappeasable, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not loving good, treacherous, reckless, swollen with conceit, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God,

Hebrews 3:12 ESV Take care, brothers, lest there be in any of you an evil, unbelieving heart, leading you to fall away from the living God.

Ephesians 4:18 ESV They are darkened in their understanding, alienated from the life of God because of the ignorance that is in them, due to their hardness of heart.

Hebrews 3:8 ESV Do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion, on the day of testing in the wilderness,

Proverbs 28:13-14 ESV Whoever conceals his transgressions will not prosper, but he who confesses and forsakes them will obtain mercy. Blessed is the one who fears the Lord always, but whoever hardens his heart will fall into calamity.

Ezekiel 36:26 ESV And I will give you a new heart, and a new spirit I will put within you. And I will remove the heart of stone from your flesh and give you a heart of flesh.

John 12:48 ESV The one who rejects me and does not receive my words has a judge; the word that I have spoken will judge him on the last day.

1 John 3:9 ESV No one born of God makes a practice of sinning, for God's seed abides in him; and he cannot keep on sinning, because he has been born of God.

John 12:40 ESV “He has blinded their eyes and hardened their heart, lest they see with their eyes, and understand with their heart, and turn, and I would heal them.”

John 14:26 ESV But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things and bring to your remembrance all that I have said to you.

Respond – Lord, I thank You for the new heart and new life that I have with You and in You.  I pray for those with hardened hearts that they will accept You as lord and savior.  Amen.

HEAR Journaling - Exodus 8

Highlight – Exodus 8:12-15 New Living Translation

12 So Moses and Aaron left Pharaoh’s palace, and Moses cried out to the Lord about the frogs he had inflicted on Pharaoh. 13 And the Lord did just what Moses had predicted. The frogs in the houses, the courtyards, and the fields all died. 14 The Egyptians piled them into great heaps, and a terrible stench filled the land. 15 But when Pharaoh saw that relief had come, he became stubborn.[c] He refused to listen to Moses and Aaron, just as the Lord had predicted.

Explain – Pharoah begged for the plague of frogs be lifted, but when the frogs were removed, his heart was ever more hardened, just as God had predicted.

Apply -   There is no hiding anything from the Lord God.  He knows everything, all time, all space including everything each of us ever thought, said, or did and also knows everything we will ever thing, say and do. Resistance and rebellion with God makes no sense, He loves us so we should repent and submit to His will and we will enjoy a joy filled life through eternity with Him.

1 Samuel 15:23 ESV For rebellion is as the sin of divination, and presumption is as iniquity and idolatry. Because you have rejected the word of the Lord, he has also rejected you from being king.”

Deuteronomy 28:47-48 ESV Because you did not serve the Lord your God with joyfulness and gladness of heart, because of the abundance of all things, therefore you shall serve your enemies whom the Lord will send against you, in hunger and thirst, in nakedness, and lacking everything. And he will put a yoke of iron on your neck until he has destroyed you.

Acts 5:29 ESV But Peter and the apostles answered, “We must obey God rather than men.

1 Corinthians 10:13 ESV No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation he will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it.

Nehemiah 9:17 ESV They refused to obey and were not mindful of the wonders that you performed among them, but they stiffened their neck and appointed a leader to return to their slavery in Egypt. But you are a God ready to forgive, gracious and merciful, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love, and did not forsake them.

Isaiah 65:2 ESV I spread out my hands all the day to a rebellious people, who walk in a way that is not good, following their own devices;

1 Samuel 12:14-15 ESV If you will fear the Lord and serve him and obey his voice and not rebel against the commandment of the Lord, and if both you and the king who reigns over you will follow the Lord your God, it will be well. But if you will not obey the voice of the Lord, but rebel against the commandment of the Lord, then the hand of the Lord will be against you and your king.

Matthew 6:33 ESV  

Proverbs 3:5-8 ESV 

Respond – Thank You Lord for my salvation.  I strive to follow You faithfully and obediently, always, forever. I pray for anyone that does not have a living relationship with You, that they would find You in Jesus Name.  Amen.

HEAR Journaling - Exodus 7

Highlight – Exodus 7:6-13 New Living Translation

6 So Moses and Aaron did just as the Lord had commanded them. 7 Moses was eighty years old, and Aaron was eighty-three when they made their demands to Pharaoh. 8 Then the Lord said to Moses and Aaron, 9 “Pharaoh will demand, ‘Show me a miracle.’ When he does this, say to Aaron, ‘Take your staff and throw it down in front of Pharaoh, and it will become a serpent.[a]’”

10 So Moses and Aaron went to Pharaoh and did what the Lord had commanded them. Aaron threw down his staff before Pharaoh and his officials, and it became a serpent! 11 Then Pharaoh called in his own wise men and sorcerers, and these Egyptian magicians did the same thing with their magic. 12 They threw down their staffs, which also became serpents! But then Aaron’s staff swallowed up their staffs. 13 Pharaoh’s heart, however, remained hard. He still refused to listen, just as the Lord had predicted.

Explain - Moses was 80 years old and Aaron was 83 years old when they went to Pharoah to demand that he let God’s people go.  They obeyed the Lord’s instruction with no apparent fear.

Apply -   The Lord can use us despite our age or condition, He call the available and will supply whatever is required for the mission that He has called us to do.  We need to follow His instruction with faith and obedience in all we think, say, and do.

2 Timothy 1:9 ESV Who saved us and called us to a holy calling, not because of our works but because of his own purpose and grace, which he gave us in Christ Jesus before the ages began,

Romans 8:28 ESV And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose.

Jeremiah 1:5 ESV “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, and before you were born I consecrated you; I appointed you a prophet to the nations.”

John 15:16 ESV You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit and that your fruit should abide, so that whatever you ask the Father in my name, he may give it to you.

Isaiah 6:8 ESV And I heard the voice of the Lord saying, “Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?” Then I said, “Here I am! Send me.”

1 Corinthians 1:26 ESV For consider your calling, brothers: not many of you were wise according to worldly standards, not many were powerful, not many were of noble birth.

Philippians 1:6 ESV And I am sure of this, that he who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ.

Respond – Thank You Lord for calling me.  I strive to focus on following You Lord and not on my situation or my apparent weaknesses but knowing that in You I can do all things that You would have me to do.  I pray for anyone that does not have a living relationship with You, that they would find You in Jesus Name.  Amen.

HEAR Journaling - Exodus 6

Highlight – Exodus 6:2-8 New living Translation

Promises of Deliverance

2 And God said to Moses, “I am Yahweh—‘the Lord.’[a] 3 I appeared to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob as El-Shaddai—‘God Almighty’[b]—but I did not reveal my name, Yahweh, to them. 4 And I reaffirmed my covenant with them. Under its terms, I promised to give them the land of Canaan, where they were living as foreigners. 5 You can be sure that I have heard the groans of the people of Israel, who are now slaves to the Egyptians. And I am well aware of my covenant with them.

6 “Therefore, say to the people of Israel: ‘I am the Lord. I will free you from your oppression and will rescue you from your slavery in Egypt. I will redeem you with a powerful arm and great acts of judgment. 7 I will claim you as my own people, and I will be your God. Then you will know that I am the Lord your God who has freed you from your oppression in Egypt. 8 I will bring you into the land I swore to give to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. I will give it to you as your very own possession. I am the Lord!’”

Explain – God gave Moses direction to tell the Hebrews that He was about to redeem them and take them to their promised land just as his covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob said.

Apply -   God has a covenant with us as well through Jesus Christ to free us from the bondage of sin, to set us free in Him and with Him, and one day to be taken to the New Heaven and New Earth to live with Him through eternity just as he promised us.

Isaiah 65:17 ESV “For behold, I create new heavens and a new earth, and the former things shall not be remembered or come into mind.

2 Peter 3:13 ESV But according to his promise we are waiting for new heavens and a new earth in which righteousness dwells.

Revelation 21:1 ESV Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and the sea was no more.

Isaiah 66:22 ESV “For as the new heavens and the new earth that I make shall remain before me, says the Lord, so shall your offspring and your name remain.

Revelation 21:4 ESV He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away.”

John 14:2 ESV In my Father's house are many rooms. If it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you?

Hebrews 11:10 ESV For he was looking forward to the city that has foundations, whose designer and builder is God.

1 Peter 1:4 ESV To an inheritance that is imperishable, undefiled, and unfading, kept in heaven for you,

1 Corinthians 2:9 ESV But, as it is written, “What no eye has seen, nor ear heard, nor the heart of man imagined, what God has prepared for those who love him”—

Respond – Lord, thank You for Your promise to me.  I strive to abide in You as You abide in me, faithfully and obediently through eternity. I pray for all that do not know You, that they will seek and find You.  Amen.

HEAR Journaling - Exodus 5

Highlight – Exodus 5:22-23 New living Translation

22 Then Moses went back to the Lord and protested, “Why have you brought all this trouble on your own people, Lord? Why did you send me? 23 Ever since I came to Pharaoh as your spokesman, he has been even more brutal to your people. And you have done nothing to rescue them!”

Explain – Moses goes to the Lord asking why He had brought on all the trouble on the Hebrews.  He asked further, why did He send Moses.  Moses observed that Pharaoh became more brutal to the people and God had done nothing.

Apply -   We can get caught up ourselves judging God’s motives, abilities, and results if we are not careful.  We are really in no position to question God’s motives, abilities, or results.  God’s ways are not our ways.  His way is the best way, even when we can’t see the purpose or understand the delays.  We need to exercise our faith and trust in the Lord in all circumstances.

Romans 15:13 ESV May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope.

Psalm 28:7 ESV The Lord is my strength and my shield; in him my heart trusts, and I am helped; my heart exults, and with my song I give thanks to him.

Romans 10:17 ESV So faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ.

Isaiah 40:31 ESV But they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint.

Hebrews 11:6 ESV And without faith it is impossible to please him, for whoever would draw near to God must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek him.

Proverbs 3:5-6 ESV Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.

John 14:1 ESV “Let not your hearts be troubled. Believe in God; believe also in me.

2 Corinthians 5:7 ESV For we walk by faith, not by sight.

Respond – Lord, thank You for Your will and plan for my life.  Help me Lord to fully trust You, not to question Your actions, motives, or timing.  I know that Your ways are the best.  I choose to follow You obediently and faithfully.   I pray for all that do not know You, that they will seek and find You.  Amen.

HEAR Journaling - Exodus 4

Highlight – Exodus 4:24-26 New living Translation

24 On the way to Egypt, at a place where Moses and his family had stopped for the night, the Lord confronted him and was about to kill him. 25 But Moses’ wife, Zipporah, took a flint knife and circumcised her son. She touched his feet[b] with the foreskin and said, “Now you are a bridegroom of blood to me.” 26 (When she said “a bridegroom of blood,” she was referring to the circumcision.) After that, the Lord left him alone.

Explain – This was very confusing to me at first, why after all the dialogue between God and Moses would God want to kill Moses?  Moses had not circumcised his first-born son because his wife was not a Hebrew.  Zipporah, Moses’ wife, circumcised their son which made things right under God.  This was important because later all the first-born sons would be protected by the Passover.  Moses had this once hidden sin between him and God, that God demanded be made right.  This had to be reconciled before he could proceed on his mission to Egypt.

Apply -   Do we have any hidden sin that needs to be reconciled with God?  There are consequences to sin, we must ensure that we are right with God.  The best way to be certain is to humbly ask Him to reveal anything that is amiss in our life, ask Him to reveal these things and to repent and make reconciliation as He may require.

Colossians 1:20-22 ESV And through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether on earth or in heaven, making peace by the blood of his cross. And you, who once were alienated and hostile in mind, doing evil deeds, he has now reconciled in his body of flesh by his death, in order to present you holy and blameless and above reproach before him,

Luke 12:2 ESV Nothing is covered up that will not be revealed, or hidden that will not be known.

Ecclesiastes 12:14 ESV For God will bring every deed into judgment, with every secret thing, whether good or evil.

Numbers 32:23 ESV But if you will not do so, behold, you have sinned against the Lord, and be sure your sin will find you out.

Job 13:23 ESV How many are my iniquities and my sins? Make me know my transgression and my sin.

James 5:16 ESV Therefore, confess your sins to one another and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person has great power as it is working.

Colossians 1:20 ESV And through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether on earth or in heaven, making peace by the blood of his cross.

Colossians 3:13 ESV Bearing with one another and, if one has a complaint against another, forgiving each other; as the Lord has forgiven you, so you also must forgive.

2 Corinthians 5:18-21 ESV 

Respond – Lord, thank You for Your will and plan for my life.  I give myself totally to You, Your will not my will, Lord.  Show me Lord the areas of my life that need to be reconciled with You and others.  Show me the way to make things right. I strive to abide in You as You abide in me, following You faithfully and obediently always forever.  I pray for all that do not know You, that they will seek and find You.  Amen.

HEAR Journaling - Exodus 3

Highlight – Exodus 3:1-6 New living Translation

Moses and the Burning Bush

1 One day Moses was tending the flock of his father-in-law, Jethro,[a] the priest of Midian. He led the flock far into the wilderness and came to Sinai,[b] the mountain of God. 2 There the angel of the Lord appeared to him in a blazing fire from the middle of a bush. Moses stared in amazement. Though the bush was engulfed in flames, it didn’t burn up. 3 “This is amazing,” Moses said to himself. “Why isn’t that bush burning up? I must go see it.” 4 When the Lord saw Moses coming to take a closer look, God called to him from the middle of the bush, “Moses! Moses!” “Here I am!” Moses replied. 5 “Do not come any closer,” the Lord warned. “Take off your sandals, for you are standing on holy ground. 6 I am the God of your father[c]—the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.” When Moses heard this, he covered his face because he was afraid to look at God.

Explain – Moses is attracted to the sight of a burning bush that was not consumed; it was burning through some external power.  Moses climbed up the mountain to see the burning bush and found God.  God explained that he had to remove his sandals to approach the burning bush. 

Apply -   If we want to approach God, we must be willing to put off the cares of this world just as Moses took off his sandals.  We must seek God, just as Moses sought the burning bush.  If we truly want to hear from God and be led by God we must be 100% honest with ourselves and with God.

1 John 1:9 ESV If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

John 14:6 ESV Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.

Acts 3:19 ESV Repent therefore, and turn back, that your sins may be blotted out,

Acts 2:38 ESV And Peter said to them, “Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.

2 Chronicles 7:14 ESV If my people who are called by my name humble themselves, and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land.

John 15:7 ESV If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you.

Galatians 2:20 ESV I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.

1 John 3:24 ESV Whoever keeps his commandments abides in God, and God in him. And by this we know that he abides in us, by the Spirit whom he has given us.

John 15:6 ESV

Respond – Lord, thank You for Your will and plan for my life.  I give myself totally to You, Your will not my will, Lord.  I strive to abide in You as You abide in me, following You faithfully and obediently always forever.  I pray for all that do not know You, that they will seek and find You.  Amen.

HEAR Journaling - Exodus 2

Highlight – Exodus 2:1-6, 10 New living Translation

The Birth of Moses

1 About this time, a man and woman from the tribe of Levi got married. 2 The woman became pregnant and gave birth to a son. She saw that he was a special baby and kept him hidden for three months. 3 But when she could no longer hide him, she got a basket made of papyrus reeds and waterproofed it with tar and pitch. She put the baby in the basket and laid it among the reeds along the bank of the Nile River. 4 The baby’s sister then stood at a distance, watching to see what would happen to him. 5 Soon Pharaoh’s daughter came down to bathe in the river, and her attendants walked along the riverbank. When the princess saw the basket among the reeds, she sent her maid to get it for her. 6 When the princess opened it, she saw the baby. The little boy was crying, and she felt sorry for him. “This must be one of the Hebrew children,” she said.

…10 Later, when the boy was older, his mother brought him back to Pharaoh’s daughter, who adopted him as her own son. The princess named him Moses,[a] for she explained, “I lifted him out of the water.”

Explain – Baby boys had a death sentence on them because of the new pharaoh’s fear of the Israelites. God’s plan was for Moses to be raised up as an Egyptian prince despite his Hebrew bloodline.

Apply -   What amazing faith for Moses’ mother to put him in a basket in the water.  She didn’t know what God’s marvelous plan was, that Moses would grow up as an Egyptian prince to eventually lead the Hebrews out of Egypt and to give them the law from God himself.

We may question circumstances and God’s motives at times, but we would be better served to trust in the Lord with all our hearts, lean not on our own understanding, but acknowledge Him in all of our ways and He will make our path straight according to His will and plan.  His way is so much better than anything we can imagine.

Proverbs 3:5-6 ESV Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.

Psalm 118:8 ESV It is better to take refuge in the Lord than to trust in man.

Isaiah 12:2 ESV “Behold, God is my salvation; I will trust, and will not be afraid; for the Lord God is my strength and my song, and he has become my salvation.”

Romans 15:13 ESV May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope.

Psalm 28:7 ESV The Lord is my strength and my shield; in him my heart trusts, and I am helped; my heart exults, and with my song I give thanks to him.

Jeremiah 17:7-8 ESV 

Romans 8:28 ESV

Respond – Lord, thank You for Your will and plan for my life.  I strive to abide in You as You abide in me, following You faithfully and obediently always forever.  I pray for all that do not know You, that they will seek and find You.  Amen.

HEAR Journaling - Exodus 1

Highlight – Exodus 1:8-10, 15-17 New living Translation

The Israelites in Egypt

8 Eventually, a new king came to power in Egypt who knew nothing about Joseph or what he had done. 9 He said to his people, “Look, the people of Israel now outnumber us and are stronger than we are. 10 We must make a plan to keep them from growing even more. If we don’t, and if war breaks out, they will join our enemies and fight against us. Then they will escape from the country.[b]”

…15 Then Pharaoh, the king of Egypt, gave this order to the Hebrew midwives, Shiphrah and Puah: 16 “When you help the Hebrew women as they give birth, watch as they deliver.[c] If the baby is a boy, kill him; if it is a girl, let her live.”17 But because the midwives feared God, they refused to obey the king’s orders. They allowed the boys to live, too.

Explain – The Israelites didn’t become slaves as a result of being conquered, rather they came to Egypt because of the famine and was welcomed because God used Joseph for Egypt to prepare for the famine, to provide for God’s people.  Over time the Israelites’ population grew to the point that the Egyptians feared that they would be overthrown.  The new Pharos’s solution was to kill be sons of the people of Israel.  God’s blessings for the Israelites continued including the midwives that had large families.

Apply -   In these modern times we fear what strange new decrees that our own Godless governments may impose.  We need not fear, however, as God is always working.  God’s plan is beyond any mortal interference. We can live at peace in Him through any adversity.

Romans 8:28 ESV And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose.

James 1:2-4 ESV Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds, for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness. And let steadfastness have its full effect, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.

2 Corinthians 4:8-9 ESV We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not driven to despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed;

1 Peter 5:10 ESV And after you have suffered a little while, the God of all grace, who has called you to his eternal glory in Christ, will himself restore, confirm, strengthen, and establish you.

Romans 12:2 ESV Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.

1 Peter 5:8 ESV Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour.

Psalm 34:19 ESV Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the Lord delivers him out of them all.

Philippians 4:12-13 ESV I know how to be brought low, and I know how to abound. In any and every circumstance, I have learned the secret of facing plenty and hunger, abundance and need. I can do all things through him who strengthens me.

2 Corinthians 12:9 ESV But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me.

James 1:12 ESV Blessed is the man who remains steadfast under trial, for when he has stood the test he will receive the crown of life, which God has promised to those who love him.

Respond – Lord, thank You for Your peace that passes my understanding, but is ever available to me.  Help me Lord to seek You first in all circumstances.  I know that I will remain at peace as long as I abide in You as You abide in me as I follow You faithfully and obediently.  I pray for all that do not know You, that they will seek and find You.  Amen.
