Today's Bible Verse

Thou in thy mercy hast led forth the people which thou hast redeemed: thou hast guided them in thy strength unto thy holy habitation.

Today's Bible study

In today's verse, Moses and the Israelite people sing a song of praise to the Lord after He delivers them from the Egyptians. They say that the Lord guided them by His strength to their "holy habitation", meaning the land that had been promised to them centuries before. Today, we'll look at how the Lord guides us by His strength.

Do you ever worry about remaining in the Lord's will? I know that I do. There are times when I can't figure out what He wants me to do or when doing the right thing seems to overwhelm me completely. In times like those, I have to take a step back and remember the promises of God. He did not ask the Israelites to fight their way into the Promised Land, and He didn't equip them with swords and brilliant battle plans. Instead, He parted the Red Sea, toppled cities with the sound of trumpets (the Battle of Jericho, Joshua 6), and rained down food from Heaven (Exodus 16). No person could ever have done these things. God worked in such a way that He would get all the glory.

God often works in our lives the same way. We see His hands through coincidences… sermons that hit at just the right moment, the perfect song on a Christian radio station, or caring friends who know just what to say. He provides exactly what we need, and He does it over and over again. This means we can trust that He will give us the strength we need for today. We don't have to know what is happening tomorrow, but instead remember that He is guiding everything and every part of our lives.

Trusting in the Lord gives us the strength to keep going. It reminds us that He will help us honor Him and that we are not alone in this world. Just as the Lord guided the Israelites footstep by footstep, He will direct our paths. We do not have to be strong enough, wise enough, smart enough, or beautiful enough to get to where He wants us to be; the Israelites and their forefathers were not. Still, God had a plan for them, and even their own stubbornness could not stop it. In the same way, the Lord will give us just enough strength to rest in His will this very day.

Today's Prayer

Dear Lord, thank you for giving me strength. I need you more than I even know, and I'm so grateful that you sustain me day after day. Thank you for your love and goodness to me each day. In Jesus' name, amen.

Yesterday's Bible Verse

And when he had called unto him his twelve disciples, he gave them power against unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all manner of sickness and all manner of disease. :

Yesterday's Bible study

When Jesus sent out His disciples to spread the Gospel, He gave them the power to drive out evil spirits from people and heal sickness. They were given the tools for spiritual and physical healing.

The Lord was in the process of restoring the earth, and one of the most important parts of that was eliminating disease and sickness. Because of this, when Jesus sent out the disciples, He gave them a pivotal role in this restoration—healing. When they healed other people, they were able to point them to the Lord, showing them what God is like. If the Lord is able to and wants to heal people, this means that He is truly God and for their good.

The physical healing that the Lord offers to us is a reflection of the internal healing that He has provided for us. While our bodies might be broken and need healing, our souls need it so much more. When we are sick, we can take a moment to reflect on our souls, which were sick and hopeless without the intervention of the Lord. When we came to know Christ, He healed the rift between us and the Lord once and for all, making us whole and well again in Him. He is a God of healing.

There is nothing in your life that the Lord cannot break through. There is nothing that is impossible for Him, nothing that is too far gone for Him. Be bold in your prayers for healing, asking God to do the miraculous in your life. As a sinner saved by grace, you are already a walking miracle because you have a transformed heart. And, like the disciples of so long ago, you know the Lord.

Yesterday's Prayer

Dear Lord, I am so grateful that you are a God of healing. There is nothing impossible for you. I ask that you would please heal the broken parts in my life, physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. Help me to never forget the healing that you have given me in my soul. In Jesus' name, amen.
