Devotion:
Read Exodus 3:4-8b.
God never breaks a promise. Look at Genesis 50:24-25. Egypt was not their home and God did not intend for them to remain in that country. However, things took a turn for the worse after Joseph’s death when the Israelites were enslaved by the Egyptians. But God was not blind to their plight. In fact, scripture says that God had seen their misery and their cries for help and is concerned about their suffering and will deliver them to the land He had promised Abraham so long ago.
Some of God’s promises are immediate and others take the long view, but both types of promises will be kept by God. Believing and holding on to those promises of deliverance and protection is FAITH. The secret of that kind of faith and belief is a lifetime of trusting God. Your faith is like a muscle. It grows with exercise, gaining strength over time. Have you experienced God’s promise of salvation, of love, of His presence? Reach out for His promise today. He stands ready to fulfill that in your life.
Personal Worship Option:
Reflect on the many promises of God. Which ones are you waiting to receive? Which ones have you embraced? Spend some time in thankful praise for God’s work in your life.
