Today's Bible Study
When the Lord commanded Moses to lead the Israelites into the land of Canaan, Moses was afraid. The land was dangerous, he knew there would be battles, and the Israelites had already revealed the fickleness of their faith. The Lord responded to Moses with the words in this morning's verse: that He would go with Moses and give him rest. The Lord has promised the same thing for us today.

The antidote to fear is faith: having no doubt that God is with us at all times. The Lord knows that His presence has the power to silence all fears. When we become confident that the Lord is with us, we do not have to be afraid of anything--because the Lord is all-powerful and loving. He loves us more than we could ever imagine. Nothing will ever take away or call into question His love for us.


As for Moses … he was facing the impossible. He was about to take a nomadic tribe into battle against ancient, powerful cities. On the surface, he had good reason to be afraid; everything seemed to be stacked against him. However, Moses served a God who had been mightily faithful to His people, and knowing that the Lord would go into battle with the Israelites gave Moses the courage to press on.

Sometimes, God calls us to do difficult and even impossible things. That "thing" may be issuing an apology, or forgiving someone, or being holy in all areas of our lives. Sometimes it's moving across the world to be a missionary, or reaching out to someone new. Whatever you are considering, you can rest assured that just as the Lord was with Moses, His presence is also with you.
Today's Prayer
Dear Lord, thank you for being near me always, even when I struggle to see you and follow you. Help me to turn my fears back to you. When I feel afraid, help me to use it as an opportunity to reflect on your promises and love for me. In Jesus's name, amen.

Yesterday's Bible Study
After the Lord delivers the Israelites from the Egyptians, Moses and the Hebrews sing to the Lord a song of praise, part of which is this morning's verse. Their song (and this verse) focuses on the character of God and bringing glory to Him.

In this verse in Exodus, the Israelites say the Lord is their strength and their song. They know their strength comes from the Lord. He has sustained them throughout their exile in Egypt and supernaturally intervened to set them free. He was the source of their salvation from the Egyptians, and they express their joy in song.

This is a good reminder for us to praise the Lord when He delivers us. It can be easy to breathe a sigh of relief and then keep going instead of stopping and taking time to reflect on His faithfulness. When we make a habit of thanking the Lord often for intervening for us, we will remember that He is the one who sustains us.

Yesterday's Prayer
