Thoughts For Today

As the children of Israel continued their sojourn, God supernaturally provided for them at every turn. The Red Sea was parted for them just in time to save them from Pharaoh’s pursuing armies. They walked across the sea on dry land, and every single one of their enemies perished trying to do the same (Exodus 14:19-31). A cloud led them by day, and a fire appeared at night to protect them (Exodus 13:21). God provided manna from Heaven to feed them (Exodus 16:4). Water poured forth from a rock so that they could have plenty to drink (Exodus 17:2-6). They were on their way to the Promise Land, and everything was looking good. The deliverance of God’s people from Egypt was a result of answered prayer. It was also a shadow, or type, of our personal relationship with God. For us there is deliverance from darkness (Egypt). We will go the waters of baptism (the Red Sea). The wonderful Holy Spirit will meet us (God’s supernatural sustenance and provision in the wilderness). And even so, we may still find ourselves in a wilderness. Egypt will be behind us, and the desert will be ahead. There are only two choices: go back or push forward.

Running The Race

This seventy-day devotional was birthed from many of the revelations that God has encouraged and sustained Kent and Bev with as they have continued to run the race of faith. Their desire is that it will inspire you as well. The number seventy means completion of judgment and to enter into increase. Individually, the numbers seven and ten express different aspects of perfection and completeness. As God continues to further His Kingdom by revelation of His divine purpose and plan for you life apply these principals to your maturation process. These are qualities that we all aspire to : perfection, that we are maturing in Him and completeness, that in Him we are whole.
