Liz’s Morning Devotional: Scripture selected from Upper Room

Exodus 14:13-18

13 But Moses said to the people, “Don’t be afraid. Stand your ground, and watch the LORD rescue you today. The Egyptians you see today you will never ever see again. 14 The LORD will fight for you. You just keep still.” 15 Then the LORD said to Moses, “Why do you cry out to me? Tell the Israelites to get moving. 16 As for you, lift your shepherd’s rod, stretch out your hand over the sea, and split it in two so that the Israelites can go into the sea on dry ground. 17 But me, I’ll make the Egyptians stubborn so that they will go in after them, and I’ll gain honor at the expense of Pharaoh, all his army, his chariots, and his cavalry. 18 The Egyptians will know that I am the LORD, when I gain honor at the expense of Pharaoh, his chariots, and his cavalry.”

Good Morning! This is the day the Lord Has Made!

I received a call this morning informing me that one of God’s good and faithful servants had been called home. As I drove out in the county to be with the family, I observed a gorgeous sunrise with the rays projected upward to welcome George home to glory. 

Even when our loved ones are suffering, we wish for just one more day to spend together. God calls each of us in accordance with God’s plan. Our earthly tents are used to support our being, our essence, while we walk this earth. When we join with God, we leave our worn tents behind. 

No matter how bleak the future might seem, we know that God is with us. Throughout the Bible, God’s servants show us how to stand tall and put away our fear. Though letting go is hard, we are blessed with the assurance that one day we will be reunited. In God’s time, all things are made beautiful.

Loving Lord, you bless us abundantly! Each loss of a loved one is hard, but we thank you for standing with us when we are too weak to stand alone. Thank you. We love you, Lord! In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen

Thought for the day: Fight the good fight! God will bless us!

Praise God from whom all blessings flow. Pastor Liz
