I will sing of your strength, in the morning I will sing
of your love; for you are my fortress, my refuge in times of trouble.

THOUGHTS ABOUT
TODAY'S VERSE
So
many things in our lives can be stolen away by natural disasters, aging, and
death. Satan could be appropriately
called "The Thief of Always."
But God is immovable and unstealable!
We can invest ourselves in him and know our spirits are secure in his
care. He is a fortress and a refuge.
MY PRAYER
O
Great Rock of my salvation, thank you for being unchangeable and faithful. Thank you for being the source of security
and future in a day of chaos and change.
Thank you for being God. You are my God and in you I place my life, my
hopes, and my future. May you be
glorified in me today. In Jesus name I
pray. Amen.
Blessed Based On God’s Goodness
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, “I have
heard the complaints of the children of Israel. Speak to them, saying, ‘At
twilight you shall eat meat, and in the morning you shall be filled with bread.
And you shall know that I am the Lord your God.’”
Exodus 16:11–12
Many years ago, when I was studying God’s
Word, the Lord spoke to me, saying, “Before the law was given, none of the
children of Israel died when they came out of Egypt. Even though they murmured
and complained against God’s appointed leadership, not a single one of them
died. This is a picture of pure grace.” I had never heard anyone teach this
before or read it in any book, so I quickly went through that portion in my
Bible and indeed, I could not find anyone who died before the law was given!
You see, when the Israelites journeyed from
Egypt to Mount Sinai, they were under the Abrahamic covenant of grace. They
only came under the law when the Ten Commandments were given to them at Mount
Sinai. Therefore, in spite of their sins, God delivered them out of Egypt and
provided for them supernaturally, not based on their goodness and faithfulness,
but based on His goodness and faithfulness.
Beloved, the good news for you and me is
this: Today, we are under the new covenant of grace (unmerited favor), and
God’s unmerited favor is upon us. Therefore, His blessings and provisions for
us are based entirely on HIS GOODNESS and HIS FAITHFULNESS. Hallelujah!
