  • September 20 – Exodus 17:1-7

    Once again, God tested the Israelites. They arrived at Rephidim and there was no water to drink. They did

    not call out to God for provision. Instead, they grumbled to Moses and blamed
    Him. God spoke with Moses and water was provided when Moses followed specific
    instructions from God. God has had a plan all along to provide us with the
    living water through the sacrifice of His Son, Jesus Christ. This living water
    flows freely for those who choose to accept Jesus Christ as their personal Lord
    and Savior. Is there someone you know that is not drinking freely of the living
    water? Find time today to pray for them and ask that God would put people in
    their life to help them find the way to Jesus.

  • September 19 – Exodus 16:31-36

    God is a good, good God. Imagine how much manna He provided. This provision lasted for the full forty

    years. Daily he rained down manna and on the sixth day He rained down a double
    portion. God’s provision to His chosen people is mind boggling. God knew that
    this history of His amazing provision needed to be passed on to future
    generations. This was accomplished by placing a jar of the manna before the
    Lord. Eventually, this jar would find its way into the Ark of the Covenant. How
    well He knew His chosen people. We. Too, tend to forget all that God has done
    for us. Our children need to be reminded of the goodness of God as we raise
    them. Take time today to tell someone of the provisions of God in your life.
    Share with them how well God has taken care of your family and loved ones. How
    sweet that God gave us the Bible to help us remember His faithfulness to those
    He loves.

  • September 18 – Exodus 16:22-30

    God has blessed us with a day of rest just as He blessed the Israelites. They did not have a day of rest

    as they labored in Egypt. God explained what His expectations were. We, too,
    have a day of rest. As we live in such a rushed, demanding society, do we
    always observe this day of rest? I know that when I was a mom and a wife and a
    teacher, days of rest were few and far between. Forgive me, Father. I was not
    being obedient. He made this day of rest to revive us, to renew us, to show His
    love for us, the very least we can do is to show our love for Him by resting
    and allowing Him to renew us with His words. 
    May you find a day of rest and reflection in your life. If not, ask God
    to help you find a way to be obedient and honor His commandments so that you,
    too, may observe a day of rest.

  • September 17 – Exodus 16:9-21

    Why is it so hard for us to be obedient to God? Here we see that the Israelites who gathered an excess

    of manna and this excess of manna bred worms and stank. God had a plan for His
    people and Moses made it very clear how to collect the food and survive.  I, too, find myself being disobedient to God
    so I can certainly identify with His chosen people. I also find myself doubting
    God’s provisions at times. I find myself feeling fear and that is when I
    typically act out and am disobedient.  Why
    would I even go down that road? As I look back at my life, I have always had
    ENOUGH. That is all I need. Check yourself and see if you, too, struggle with
    obedience to God and doubting Him. If the answer is yes, ask for forgiveness.

  • September 16 – Exodus 16:1-8

    This passage always makes me smile. They were slaves in Egypt. It is very doubtful they were sat by

    “meatpots and ate bread to the full”. How many times have I grumbled when the
    situation does not suit my fancy? What does my grumbling say about my
    relationship with God? When we grumble, we show our dissatisfaction with God’s
    provisions. Instead of grumbling, perhaps we should take our concerns to God.
    Think about this the next time you are in a situation you feel is less than
    satisfactory.

  • September 15 – Exodus 15:22-27

    How soon they forget. The Israelites traveled for three days. They needed water and none was to be found.

    At Marah, the water was bitter. Moses cried out to God and he instructed Moses
    so that the water could be made drinkable. Once again, God’s provisions were
    more than adequate. Our God is so good. As you go through your day today, be
    mindful of the provisions of our God. It is so easy to take for granted all
    that God does for us. Offer prayers of thanksgiving today. We are so blessed.
    Thank you, Lord God.

  • September 14 – Exodus 15:1-21

    The journey through the Red Sea is complete and now it is time to praise God and celebrate the victory

    God provided over the Egyptians. How sweet this time must have been. Think of a
    time when God provided a sweet victory for you. Perhaps it was a restoration of
    a relationship, the birth of a long-awaited baby, a salvation experience for a
    loved one you have been covering in prayer for a long time. Our God is good,
    and He wants us to call on Him and give Him all the praise in these sweet
    moments. He also wants us to praise Him when times are tough. Oh, how hard this
    is. Ask God today to strengthen your walk during good times and hard times. He
    will.

  • September 13 – Exodus 14:26-31

    How wonderful to see God continue to protect His chosen people. Not only does God protect the

    Israelites, He destroys their enemies. Egyptians were rendered helpless, and
    God triumphed again. Take a look at your life. Are you being pursued by a
    frightful army? Probably not but if you are like me, it sometimes seems like an
    army when Satan is after you.  Satan has
    pursued people since Adam and Eve and he's not about to stop now.  When I was a child and became scared, I
    always ran to my dad, and he would pick me up and hold me in his arms.  I felt so protected there.  Of course, now I know the protection I
    thought I had in his arms, was all in my head, but it sure made this little
    girl feel safe.

    Allow God to provide you protection and do not hesitate to cry out to God when the battle feels too tough,

    and all seems to be crashing in on you. He is a mighty God and He loves us.
    Turn to Him, cry out to Him and let Him show you the way.

  • September 12 – Exodus 14:21-25

    Once again, we see God preparing the way of the Israelites. He used a strong east wind to divide the

    sea and dry the land so that the Israelites had sure footing as they made their
    way on dry land. God caused panic to be present in the Egyptian forces. He
    clogged their wheels, so movement was hard. God prevailed and the Egyptians
    were afraid. Think about your life. Have you personally experienced the
    protection of the Lord? Has He freed you from your enemies?

    What a mighty God we serve. Take some time right now to thank Him for all He has done for you and

    the protection that only He can provide. Even more important, tell someone today
    of all the good you have seen because of your relationship with God.

  • September 11 – Exodus 14:15-20

    It’s sometimes hard to understand fear.  Think

    of a time your children were frightened. 
    It may not have made sense to you, but you were there to console,
    comfort and offer support.  God does the
    same.  Frankly, I think,  “how ridiculous the Israelites acted having
    just been freed from the Egyptians in a miraculous way and then suffering what
    seemed to be amnesia, not trusting or having faith in God’s promise.”

     

    Oh but, how often am I just like the Israelites? 

    How often do I fail to recall how good God has been to me?  How often do I fail to thank God for His
    extraordinary love?

     

    Reflect on how God has provided for you time and time again and thank Him today for his

    grace, love, mercy and unfailing love. 

     

    So God acted as a buffer between the Israelites
    and the Egyptians. He moved from the guiding position into a position of
    protection, just as we do for our children when they struggle with fear. He
    provided light for the Israelites and darkness for the Egyptians. He did the
    same for us when He sent His Son, Jesus, to die for us on the cross. Jesus
    saved us from our sin, eminent death and a torturous life in hell. The
    Israelites had to have faith in God and how God directed their leader, Moses.
    We, too, must have faith in God and depend on His direction to guide us and not
    allow fear to keep us from following Him. 
    The Israelites had to do their part in preparing for the battles God
    would send their way. We, too, are called to fight battles for the Lord on a
    daily basis. How do we prepare for the battles we face? Are we putting on the
    whole armor of God that we may be able to stand against the schemes of the
    devil? Are we wearing the helmet of salvation and carrying the shield of faith?
    Do we allow the Holy Spirit to guide us through our conversations with God as
    we pray daily? God loves us and protects us but He does expect us to do our
    part.
