Devotions
The children of Israel had been in Egypt for 430 years and they had lived 400 of those years as slaves under their cruel Egyptian masters. During these 400 years, the Egyptians imposed their cultures and their religions upon the children of Israel. One can assume that despite their best efforts to preserve their culture and faith, these foreign influences had polluted and diluted their worship of YAHWEH, the One and Only true God; the God of Isaac, Abraham and Jacob.
It is easy to talk about faith. It is much harder to walk by faith. Walking by faith means living in a counter cultural manner. It means saying, “No” to the flesh and trusting God completely, in everything. It means believing that everything God says is true, no matter how outrageous and unscientific it may sound.
Has there ever been a time that life came at you with such relentless fury that you wished God would give you a break? Do you sometimes find yourself overwhelmed with trials, tribulations and emergencies? Did you know that these troubling and unjust situations are simply God’s way of opening you up to new opportunities that will deliver his blessings into your life?
