LifeLink Devotional Friday, April 12, 2019 I am having one of those moments when words are inadequate to express the overwhelming joy and gratitude that has come over my heart as I consider what God says to Moses in today’s Scripture reading. The Holy Spirit is using it to reveal the grace of God in a refreshing new way. Exodus 19:3-5 … [ 665 more words ] http://lifelinkdevo.com/2019/04/12/faith-delivers/

LifeLink Devotional Thursday, April 11, 2019 There is something very addictive about authority and power, especially to a person with insecurities. Moses was a man with insecurities. He had run away from his people once because his actions were misunderstood and rejected, and he had fought God’s call to return to his people as their deliverer because of the fear of additional rejection.

LifeLink Devotional Wednesday, April 10, 2019 Far too many people are trying to make it on their own in this life. For reasons of insecurity, fear or pride, they take on the responsibility, burden, and outcome of everything and share none of the load with others, except in the cases where there is personal benefit and advancement. Moses was one such man, and in the process of growing his faith, God was about to change him. [ 590 more words ] http://lifelinkdevo.com/2019/04/10/faith-partners-with-others/

LifeLink Devotional Friday, May 10, 2019 When I travel anywhere I really enjoy taking the scenic route. If I’m going someplace I’ve been before I will usually take the direct Interstate route. But if it’s a new destination I will take the scenic route, which may not be the fastest route. In fact, when the kids were younger, and we went on a family trip or vacation, they used to harass me about going on another one of dad’s “adventures.” We did wind up in some pretty remote places sometimes – just ask them about the Upper Peninsula of Michigan.

LifeLink Devotional Tuesday, April 9, 2019 Today’s faith lesson comes from God’s lessons on the Sabbath Day as He provides for the nutritional needs of His people. Exodus 16:22-26 On the sixth day, they gathered twice as much - two omers for each person - and the leaders of the community came and reported this to Moses. He said to them, “This is what the LORD commanded: ‘Tomorrow is to be a day of rest, a holy Sabbath to the LORD. [ 680 more words ] http://lifelinkdevo.com/2019/04/09/faith-brings-rest/

We are Excited for this Sunday's celebration of the King of Majesty @ Calvary!! Everyone is invited to join the celebration starting @ 10:15am this Sunday. We can't wait to meet you there!!!

LifeLink Devotional Monday, April 8, 2019 When you woke up this morning did you do what we learned in the devotional on Friday? Did you spend some time enjoying the manna of your forgiveness and salvation? Did you rejoice that today you have been shown mercy by God in that you have been given life despite the failures and sin of yesterday?

LifeLink Devotional Friday, April 5, 2019 Before we get to today’s faith lesson, I want to caution you to not draw the wrong conclusion from yesterday’s story. It may appear to validate grumbling. The Israelites complained to God, and he gave them what they wanted. Remember? Exodus 16:11-12 The LORD said to Moses, “I have heard the grumbling of the Israelites.

LifeLink Devotional Thursday, April 4, 2019 Consider for a moment how many of our negative reactions and responses to people and circumstances are really directed at God and offend Him deeply. To help our understanding of this issue, read the following story from the life of Moses. Exodus 16:1-8 The whole Israelite community set out from Elim and came to the Desert of Sin, which is between Elim and Sinai, on the fifteenth day of the second month after they had come out of Egypt.

LifeLink Devotional Wednesday, April 3, 2019 I hope you enjoyed a great day of praise yesterday. How is today so far? It surprises me how quickly we move from praise to petulance. It happened to the Israelites also. Exodus 15:22-27 Then Moses led Israel from the Red Sea and they went into the Desert of Shur. For three days they traveled in the desert without finding water.

LifeLink Devotional Tuesday, April 2, 2019 When faith is properly focused on the awesome nature and character of God, our hearts are inspired to praise Him. That is what happens when God delivers the Israelites from Egyptian slavery. It is what happens when God delivers people from the slavery to sin. Exodus 15:1-2 Then Moses and the Israelites sang this song to the LORD: “I will sing to the LORD, for he is highly exalted.

LifeLink Devotional Monday, April 1, 2019 Between Friday’s events in the life of Moses and today’s, there is a lot that happens: plaques and promises, broken promises and more plaques, death and deliverance. Take some time to read about it all in Exodus 7-14. At the end of those events, we read this: Exodus 14:29-31 But the Israelites went through the sea on dry ground, with a wall of water on their right and on their left.

LifeLink Devotional Friday, March 29, 2019 Yesterday Moses was left in a state of fear that he had caused more problems for the people of Israel than he could solve. He complained to God that things weren’t going well, and he even boldly told God, “you have not rescued your people at all.” But God wanted Moses and all the people to learn one inescapable truth – He alone gets all the glory for everything.

LifeLink Devotional Thursday, March 28, 2019 After yesterday’s review of some practical principles of faith, let’s move forward in the life of Moses and see what God has in store to teach us. Exodus 5:1-2, 22-23 Afterward Moses and Aaron went to Pharaoh and said, “This is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: ‘Let my people go, so that they may hold a festival to me in the desert.’” Pharaoh said, “Who is the LORD, that I should obey him and let Israel go?

LifeLink Devotional Wednesday, March 27, 2019 Let’s do a little review of the faith lessons we have learned from the life of Moses so that they are firmly planted in our spirits where they will grow and bring forth a harvest of righteousness. One of them is just what you may need today. No wrong is unforgivable by God. Moses thought he was disqualified because people rejected him for his murder of an Egyptian.

LifeLink Devotional Tuesday, March 26, 2019 Moses has another faith lesson to learn. He has run out of excuses for his fears, so now he begs for God to send someone else to do the job to which he has been called. Exodus 4:13-17 But Moses said, “O Lord, please send someone else to do it.” Then the LORD’S anger burned against Moses and he said, ”What about your brother, Aaron the Levite?

LifeLink Devotional Monday, March 25, 2019 As we continue our study on faith, specifically looking at the life of Moses, we see him giving all kinds of excuses to the Lord because he was afraid to do what God had asked him to do. Moses has tried to declare himself a nobody, to claim theological ignorance, to claim to have no authority, and now today he claims to be a poor public speaker.

LifeLink Devotional Friday, March 22, 2019 Faith overcomes fear. Faith overcomes ignorance. I wonder what faith lesson is next from the life of Moses? Exodus 4:1-5 Moses answered, “What if they do not believe me or listen to me and say, ‘The LORD did not appear to you?’” Then the LORD said to him, “What is that in your hand?” A staff,” he replied.

LifeLink Devotional Thursday, March 21, 2019 In our current study of FAITH we are looking at the life of Moses. God was building the faith of Moses so he could overcome his fears and failures. Moses was at first not a very willing student in the school of faith. In fact, he made a lot of excuses to not do the required assignments.
