SPIRITUAL
DIARY FOR 06-10-03
My
Worship Time Focus:
Moses forsakes Egypt, by faith
Bible
Reading & Meditation Reference: Hebrews 11:27
Message of the
verse: “By faith he
forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king; for he endured as seeing Him
who is invisible. (NKJV)
Moses met
the True God while he was in the wilderness.
This was the second phase of his life, which is divided into three
forty-year spans. The first forty years
he spent in Egypt living in the house of Pharaoh. The next forty years he spent in the
wilderness tending sheep, getting married, and raising a family. At this time is when Moses met the Lord and
the Lord spoke to him telling him what He wanted Moses to do, and that was to
lead His people out of Egypt. The last
forty years was spent with the people of God leading them for those forty years
in the wilderness. The point of this
verse is that Moses believed what the Lord had told him to do and then by
faith, acting upon it by not fearing the wrath of the pharaoh, because he knew
that God was with him, as the verse says, “seeing Him who is invisible.”
Message
of the verse: The words “by faith”
are repeated many times in this eleventh chapter of Hebrews, and they have new
meaning to my life. The Lord has
impressed upon my heart that these words, “by faith” mean standing upon the
promises that God has given in His Word no matter what the circumstances or
consequences are. I am not there yet,
but God is not done with me yet, so that means He is still teaching my and
increasing my faith in Him.
The Word of God was challenging and refreshing to my soul
today.
My
Steps of Faith Today: To
continue to believe that the Lord is in control of all things that happen in my
life, and He is in control of these events that are happening with Andrew Leck,
and our investments with him.
