STORY
Bible in a Year: God Protects and Provides
Scripture
By day the Lord went ahead of them in a pillar of cloud to guide them on their way and by night in a pillar of fire to give them light, so that they could travel by day or night.
Exodus 13:21
Sometimes the past comes running after you. Bad habits, toxic relationships, habituals sins… You’ve tried to run. But sometimes, you feel trapped.
Maybe you’ve felt like the Israelites. They had the joy of being freed from slavery and follow God boldly into the unknown. But then they hear the sound of chariots approaching… Pharoah has returned. The Isrealites are caught between Pharoah’s armies and the Red Sea, in a seemingly impossible situation.
This episode of Bible in a Year reminds us that God always makes a way - a way to freedom, salvation, and hope.
The parting of the Red Sea is a profound symbol of God's ability to make a way where there seems to be none. It also serves as a reminder of His promise to deliver us from seemingly impossible situations. Meanwhile, the manna from heaven that came afterward highlights God's constant care and provision, even when we doubt.
God will deliver you from your situation, but he’ll also provide for you in the struggle.
REFLECTION
Consider the areas in your life where you feel trapped or lost. How can you cultivate a deeper trust in God's guidance and provision? Let the story of the Israelites' journey inspire you to rely on God's direction and care, especially in times of uncertainty and fear.
PRAYER
But the children of Israel walked upon dry land in the midst of the sea; and the waters were a wall unto them on their right hand, and on their left.
EXODUS 14:29
As I greet my new day, I thank You that like the cloud by day and pillar of fire at night, in Exodus, You are guiding and leading me into my promised land. As I move forward I will not succumb to the spirt of fear, for I know You did not bring me this far to become a slave to fear. When I feel overwhelmed I will remain silent and hold fast to the promise that You will fight for me in the face of adversity. So let my faith represent the staff of Moses, as I place it in the sea of adversity I will stand firm because I know You will part the sea and allow me to walk through on dry ground. I will not worry about the haters in my life, for I know that You will silence them so that I can continue to take ground in my promised land! I declare that no weapon formed against me shall prosper because I am Yours and You are mine! Thank You for being my champion now and forevermore! I declare that I am closer to my promise than I realize! Thank You that You satisfy my needs, in abundance and with nourishment. I will be grateful for my daily bread because I know that You are the God that protects and provides and I know this full well! In Jesus’ Name, Amen. 🙏🏾
