Devotions

The same God who helped Esther, Daniel, and Nehemiah is willing to work in your life. Whether the challenge you face is personal like Esther’s, professional like Daniel’s, or related to Kingdom service like Nehemiah’s — or perhaps a combination of these — the Lord is eagerly waiting to release His blessing upon you so that you may gain favor in the eyes of the concerned people.

The battle at Rephidim reveal a beautiful truth about how God often works in our lives. God often works through a partnership between our natural efforts and His supernatural power. Joshua had to fight. Moses had to pray. Aaron and Hur had to provide support. Yet without God's intervention, none of their efforts would have been enough.

All you need to do is invite Jesus into your situation. Make room for Him in your life, just as Peter made room for Him in his boat. Prioritize spending time with Him, listening to and meditating on the Word of God, and seeking His direction.

When He speaks, choose obedience—even when His instructions do not seem logical. He may guide you through Scripture, a quiet prompting in your heart, or the circumstances He places before you.
