Devotions

“And in the morning you shall see the glory of the LORD; for He hears your complaints against the LORD. But what are we, that you complain against us?”

Exodus 16:7

Like the children of Israel, if we just look for the glory of the LORD, we can see it! If we get up and look to man, we will end up complaining. What is the point of complaining to man or complaining about Him? Nothing, it will usually get you nowhere.

“My voice You shall hear in the morning, O LORD; In the morning I will direct it to You, And I will look up.”

Psalm 5:3

What a great way to start our day, looking to the LORD and calling out to Him. Let Him know your complaints, concerns and needs. Why? Because He has all the answers!

“Therefore do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For after all these things the Gentiles (unbelievers) seek. For your Heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.”

Matthew 6:31-34

Today, look to the LORD, not to the world! The LORD is peace and glory, the world is complaining and misery! The choice really is pretty easy to make! His glory or man’s complaining?

Have a blessed day looking for the glory of the LORD!

“Who is like You, O LORD, among the gods? Who is like You, glorious in holiness, Fearful in praises, doing wonders?”

Exodus 15:11

As we look at the Exodus account we see the children of Israel go from one tight situation to another and the LORD always gets them through! The same goes for us. He gets us through every situation, right to where He wants us to be!

“You in Your mercy have led forth The people whom You have redeemed; You have guided them in Your strength to Your holy habitation.”

Exodus 15:13

Like the children of Israel, we can and do get caught up in our problems and situations! Realize, every step in every day gets us closer to His holy habitation: Heaven!

“The LORD shall reign forever and ever.”

Exodus 15:18

Today, let’s look to the LORD and trust He is going to get us through! Every situation the children of Israel got into, the LORD got them out! Let’s not cry about our situations, but instead cry out to the LORD in prayer and watch Him do His wondrous works! May your day be richly blessed, knowing the LORD reigns and He will get you through!
