Stand Firm, The Lord Will Fight For You
One of the hardest things for us to do is to stand still, especially in the face of dangers. However, sometimes God asks us to simply stand firm and watch how He fights for us. We all love to have God fighting for us. But are we willing to surrender our control and desires and let God fight for us on His terms?
God’s Strange Yet Faithful Guidance
Many a times we may find God’s guidance “strange”. Why did He lead us on a detour when there was a shorter way? Why did He let us go the hard way instead of the easy one? Yet, do we know how much hidden dangers God had helped us evade by that “longer” path? And even if God really gives us the shortest and easiest way, will we surely follow Him?
Consecrate Yourself and Every Firstborn to God
In the relationship between God and His people, God is the major player, who initiates and sustains His relationship with us. Yet, we should have our due response too. God not only redeems His people, but He also wants His redemption to influence and shape our entire lives, such that we live to honor the One who redeemed us. As we commemorate God’s gracious redemption, are we willing to consecrate our lives to Him?
Be Humble Or Be Humiliated Before God
It is not easy for us sinners to humble down, whether it is before God or men. For the natural human tendency is to exalt one’s self and insist on one’s own ways, rather than to yield to another being. Therefore, God has to keep humbling men down, reminding them of His sovereignty and superiority. What is your response in the face of the mighty God? Can we gain anything from being stubborn against God?
God Saves Us To Sanctify Us
Why did God ask the Israelites not to eat bread with yeast during the Passover and the festival of unleavened bread? What is the significance of “leaven (yeast)” in this case? How does it shed light on God’s heart for us after He saves us? What is God doing in our lives and demanding from us after we received His salvation?
“When I See The Blood, I Will Pass Over You”
Why was the Passover so important that God even instructed the Israelites to change their annual calendar to mark the Passover month as the first month of their year? And what is so significant about Christ’s blood? Why is it that nothing but the blood of Jesus can save? The answers to these questions are not only important for the Israelites, but they also hold serious implications even for us today.
Do Not Fall Into The Trap Of Compromise
The evil one is surely no match for God. Thus, when the devil cannot stop us from worshipping God, he deceitfully leads us to traps of compromises, so that we cannot worship God wholeheartedly. What are the 4 traps of compromises that Pharaoh set for Moses and the Israelites, which should also be alarms for us?
Ten Plagues, Same Purpose
Many people pursue signs and wonders, as they think that God’s display of great power can only benefit them. But is it possible that God’s power be terrifying too? The Bible tells us that the plagues Egypt suffered were also “signs and wonders” from God. They were in fact the mighty display of God’s power to judge Egypt for disobeying Him. Can mere man withstand God? If can’t, why not cease our struggle with God and yield to Him?
Counterfeit Power Is No Match For God
We all love power and we worship God precisely because we think He is powerful to help us, protect us and give us what we want. Yet power can be deceiving and lead us to a wrong faith. So we must consider is every power good and right? Are all powers worth following?
Be Assured Because Of God’s Mighty Hand
We like to hear nice words and sweet promises, but a promise is just a promise unless it can be fulfilled. Thankfully, our God is not just a promise-maker, but also a promise-keeper. His mighty hand will ensure His promises are all delivered. When discouragement hits us and wavers our faith in God’s promises, let us think of God’s mighty hand, so that our feeble hands can be strengthened to continue doing His work.
