Exploring scripture and seeking God's word to guide us to walk in the safety of His level ground.
Today’s study focuses on Luke 9, where Jesus sends his disciples to spread the gospel, heal, and trust wholly in God for their needs. They journeyed, facing both acceptance and rejection, and learned to rely on Jesus for strength and provision, evidenced by the miracle of feeding the masses with five loaves and two fish. In Christ, they, and we, find compassion, rest, and unshakeable joy.
Facing life’s numerous challenges, the biblical story in Exodus 14 illustrates how the Israelites overcame seemingly insurmountable obstacles by trusting God. Emphasizing the theme of standing firm and not succumbing to fear or haste, the passage teaches surrender to God’s will and finding peace amid adversity by trusting in His control and ultimate plan. The key takeaway is reliance on God’s strength and peace during life’s battles, as symbolized by the parting of the Red Sea.
Scripture tells us that Jesus came to establish His kingdom here on earth. But, what does that mean? What is this kingdom, and how do we get to it, how do we live in it, and how can it change our lives?
How we relate to everything and everyone in our lives ultimately depends on how we relate to God. In Psalm 16 we see that as we are filled from God’s cup we can walk better together and be His hands and feet.
“Because you are important everything you do is important. Every time you forgive, the universe changes; every time you reach out and touch a heart or a life, the world changes; with every kindness and service, seen or unseen, my purposes are accomplished, and nothing will ever be the same again.” by William Paul Young
