Power


Exodus 14:14

14 The LORD will fight for you; you need only to be still.


Power in Prayer?

Do you recall a time when God answered your prayers?
I do.

Do you recall a time when God didn't answer your prayers?
I do.

God freed the Israelis when the were slaves. But they forgot what he did for them and started to complain on the way to the Promise Land (we know where he was leading them, but they didn't.... ). Nevertheless, they forgot they were FREE. They needed to trust God. Trust if he freed them, that meant he loved them... trust Him that he had a plan for them... for GOOD, not evil.

Well, They murmured in the desert in spite the fact they saw the miracles. Parting of the Red sea? Wow. Dropping Manna from heaven for food? Leading them during the day by a cloud and at night by the stars.

I think I want to remember what God has done for me, not what he hasn't done.
I think I want to live in appreciation for what he has PLANNED for me, even when I don't understand it.
I think I want to live in his protection! Watching for the signs he has to GUIDE ME through the wilderness!

I think, I think.... I think to much? No, I think not enough about his Glory and Mercy in my life.

God, forgive me today for Murmuring in the desert and help me remember YOU DO HAVE A PLAN FOR ME!

Salute! To YOUR health and Wellness
