Topic: They
Believed God’s Word
Text: Exodus
4:31
Today’s
text is contradictory to what we have in Exodus 6:6 – 9 as the Israelites did
not heed to Moses. Here, they believed but when what they had expected didn’t
come – the immediate release from bondage of Pharaoh and his men, they didn’t
believe any longer. They had thought that their deliverance would have been so
easy but it was not so. This is one of the many problems of men who come to
Jesus Christ because they need a miracle; good job, spouse, healing,
deliverance; fruit of the womb, prosperous business and breakthrough in all
endeavours. When they come and didn’t receive what they had desired from God,
they will easily give up.
The
people of Israel believed the word of God through Moses and Aaron that God has
appeared for them in mercy and was about to deliver them from bondage. God is
better to us than our fears. We overcome difficulties in some of our duties
when God appears for us. The yoke which appears to frustrate us will be easy
and the burden which seems so heavy will be made light (Matthew 11:29 – 30).
The
word of God is a source of encouragement. There is nothing that gives joy more
than the word of God we hear. As we hear it, it brings comfort, gives
directions, removes fear and grants us boldness (Joshua 1:8; Palm 1:1 – 3).
How
do you take God’s word you hear? Do you believe it? It is the word of God we hear that will bring miracles and open doors for us. Constant meditation on the
word of God will strengthen our faith to believe in God. Please make time to
read and meditate on the word of God for that will give you the needed result in
life.
Food for
Thought: They
believed because they saw. Is it same with you?
Memory verse: Exodus 4:31
Prayer: Lord God, help me to always
meditate on your word so I can believe in Jesus name.
