Scripture Union Daily Guide Monday 10 March 2025 Devotional Message
TOPIC: Do Not Be Afraid
OPENING PRAYER: Open my eyes O Lord that I might behold wondrous things from your word in Jesus name.
SCRIPTURE: Numbers 21:21-35
QUESTION FOR MEDITATION:
► Q7: What truth is God revealing to me in this passage?
Israel continued meeting opposition and kings who were hostile and ready to wipe out the young and emerging nation. It is indeed disturbing that without any genuine or observable reason, King Sihon decided to mobilize forces against Israel. Read Numbers 21:22-26 and notice what happened to him and his army? We should constantly pray for our national leaders that God will guide their decisions, especially on issues that may result to wars.
Israel consolidated their occupation of the Amorite territory. Read Numbers 21:32-33 and notice other nations that were defeated. The battle of life cannot end until we get to our Promised Land. And so, the more battles, the more victories, the more experiences and strategies we acquire for future battles. We should however avoid relying on our strength or depending on the experience of yesterday. They are not good enough for the battles of today and tomorrow.
Notice God’s assuring words in Numbers 21:34-35? Undoubtedly, Moses must have been greatly encouraged. He went out to the war with confidence and courage. God is still telling us not to be afraid of all the battles we may face. Victory is guaranteed. Read Isaiah 43:1-5.
* Any new insight or reinforcement of what you already know?
Closing Prayer:
Grant me victory in all the battles of life dear Lord, for you are my only hope.
