In Touch Daily Devotions 16 February 2022 MESSAGE
In the face of difficulty, how quickly do you shift your focus to God and seek to know His way through the situation? When we choose to trust and submit to the Lord’s path, He’ll do amazing things in and through us.
Moses is a good example. After unsuccessfully trying to rescue the Israelites by his own strength, he fled and spent 40 years in the wilderness. In that time, his pride, self-reliance, and self-will were broken. Humbled, he was now someone God could use to accomplish the slaves’ deliverance from Egypt.
Through Moses, the Lord demonstrated what great things He could do through one yielded, dependent person:
• God rescued His people without a strong army, an insurrection, or a long, drawn-out war. All it took was the display of His mighty power.
• He proved the superiority of His way by sending more than two million slaves out of bondage with their captors’ riches (Ex. 3:21-22).
• He received all the glory by proving that He alone is the God of heaven and earth.
Our past failures never hamper God’s ability to use us. In fact, our weakness is what makes us useful and shows that all the glory is His.
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Numbers 23-25
THOUGHT FOR TODAY: When we trust God and follow His direction, He can accomplish great things through us.
