Watch What You Say!
Have you ever spoken and wished you had waited, or not spoken at all? What were the results? What if you talk back to God? Should you be more careful than Pharaoh? Yes! God is good. So to try to stop God is a very bad idea. Stopping good and doing evil brings very bad consequences.
Is God Angry With You?
Have you ever asked someone to do something? Did you offer to help them? Were there people counting on you? Did they still refuse to help? Moses said ‘no’ to God and angered Him, but God gave even more help.
Overcoming Fear
We all deal with fears, some healthy, many unhealthy. How can we overcome fears that hinder the good that God would do in and through us? Moses told God his fears. God used three ordinary objects, an object lesson, to help Moses overcome his fears.
Why Not Trust Him?
Trust doesn’t come easy. Disappointments in our past, difficulties in our present, uncertainty in our future, all these can be entrusted to God by faith. We learn to trust God by learning to know Him. Here are several foundations He has given for us to learn to trust Him.
Go When God Commands
How can we hear from God? How do we know it is God’s voice? At times, it is only our unwillingness to obey that keeps us from understanding, so God gives promises to those who will obey Him.
Listen When GOD Speaks
How does God speak to us? In what ways did God speak to Moses? How do we know if it is God? Take time to listen carefully. Test it against established truth, His printed Word. Read it to learn God’s voice.
Don't Assume Too Much
Sometimes in our zeal, we may go beyond what we should. Do we know where to stop? Have we taken on a task that is not our own? Have we broken the law in our good intentions? What are the results of this?
Dare To Do Right
Some people like to blend in, no matter the cost. Others will choose to do right, no matter the cost. Some choose comfort with people over peace with God. Will you dare to do right, as this mother did for her son?
Dealing With Threatening Conditions
What do people in power do when they think they see a threat? They can become very fearful and reactionary. They may treat anyone as an enemy. Here are two basic tactics you can expect evil rulers to use.
The Final Test
What do you think of Jesus? This is a very important question. Your answers to this question will be tested in different ways. If you have accepted Jesus as Savior and Lord, He will equip you for spiritual warfare, as illustrated in Ephesians 6:1-18. Are you prepared? Is Jesus with you?
