Ever feel like the weight of the world is on your shoulders? Moses did too—but he learned to lean on God and others for strength. Scripture: “As long as Moses held up his hands, the Israelites were winning, but whenever he lowered his hands, the Amalekites were winning.” – Exodus 17:11 3 Takeaways : 1️⃣ You’re not meant to carry it alone. Moses needed Aaron and Hur to hold up his arms (Exodus 17). Don’t be afraid to ask for help. 2️⃣ God works through your weakness. His power shows up when you’re at your limit. 3️⃣ Faithfulness wins the fight. Keep trusting God, even when it’s hard—He’s fighting for you. #GodsStrength #FaithOverFear #LeanOnGod #TrustHisPlan #EncouragementForToday #MosesStory #HopeInJesus #Exodus17 #DailyDevotion #VictoryInChrist

Here are three things about God’s plan that you should know: 1.) Good plans can take time. Just like God’s promise to the Israelites of 70 years in captivity, sometimes His plans may unfold over generations, Sometimes, it might feel like it’s taking forever for God to reveal His plan to you. The reality is that you may never see the full outcome of what God has for your life— impacting lives beyond our own. 2.) Waiting seasons aren’t wasted seasons. God’s instruction to work for peace and prosperity during the wait teaches us that every moment is an opportunity to make a difference—Wherever you are right now, God can use you! Don’t miss out on making an impact for the Kingdom now by waiting for a season God hasn’t put you in yet. 3.) His plans are good. Despite current challenges, remember Jeremiah 29:11—God has plans for your future and hope. Trust Him, and you will witness the goodness ahead. It may not seem like everything is working out right now, but if you continue to trust God with your future, you’ll see good on the other side of it. #trusttheprocess

The Blessings Of Battle When you commit your life to Jesus, you switch sides. Now you’re up against 3 things. The world with its pressures, values and agenda. The flesh, with its impulses and weaknesses. The devil, who is out to defeat you. But God doesn’t bring you into a fight you can’t win, so consider 3 blessings of battle. (1) It teaches you to live at high alert. It was when Samson slept that Delilah shaved his head and robbed him of his strength. It was when the servants slept that an enemy sowed weeds among the wheat and threatened their harvest. (2) It’s a sign of spiritual progress. When Israel entered the promised land, 31 kings and 7 nations had to be conquered. Plus giants! They had to take it one city at a time and one giant at a time. And when Jesus becomes Lord of your life, He will address the unsurrendered areas of your life, and He will deal with them one at a time. And the battle will be harder and last longer when it comes to your stubborn areas. You know which ones they are, right? Be encouraged. God won’t give up on you: ‘He who has begun a good work in you will complete it’ (Philippians 1:6). (3) It’s an indication of your value to God. You are a seed capable of producing a harvest for God. That’s why you’re a target of Satan. He is after the deposit of God that’s within you. Keep fighting the good fight of faith, knowing that by God’s grace, you will win. (Timothy 6:12) The Word For Today by #UCB

God will take care of the issues keeping you awake at night. Help is on its way. 🙏🙏🙏 **Reflection:** God gave manna to the Israelites to teach them to trust in Him and rely on His sustenance: - **Test of Obedience:** Manna served as a way for God to test whether the Israelites would follow His commandments. - **Learning Trust:** God aimed for the Israelites to understand that He would provide for them daily. Since the manna would spoil after one day, they needed to gather it each morning. - **Emphasizing Dependence:** This was an opportunity for the Israelites to fully rely on Him. - **Understanding His Wisdom:** God understood the needs of the Israelites, even if His provisions weren’t always what they desired. Manna was a miraculous food the Israelites consumed during their 40 years in the wilderness. It appeared as white flakes, tasted like wafers with honey, and resembled coriander seeds. Hebrews 6:31-32 reassures us that God will meet our physical needs. So, place your trust in the Lord; He will fulfill your daily needs and respond to your prayers.

AskFOI: Why Is Israel Still Part of God's Plan? 🤔 Is God finished with Israel and the covenant He made with Abraham? Does "everlasting" really mean “everlasting” (Gen. 17:7)? We know these are questions many debate online, in seminaries, and in churches. There's an overarching program God has planned for the redemption of the world, and our redemption comes through the covenant promises that God made to Israel. You may think this is a complicated issue, but we hope this video communicates clearly why Israel is still part of God's plan! Watch Here! ⬇️
