God's Provision for Israel

God's Provision for Israel

Wednesday, February 26th & Sunday, March 2nd

Key Passage: Exodus 13:17-17:7

Basic Truth: God wants mankind to see His glory

Memory Verse: "I am the LORD, the God of all mankind. Is anything too hard for me?"

Think about it: 

God delights in miracles - those demonstrations of His glory and power that go far beyond our expectations.  Instant healings, supernatural strength, huge temporary overrides of what we consider to be the “laws of nature” -- each done in a manner to reveal His power and love.

A sudden emergency may cause us to cry out for God’s power and glory to be seen, then and there, or those who love Him and trust Him may pray for deliverance for months or even years.  Our all-wise God releases His amazing answers at the precise moment when the glory will be His—not ours.  We can never force His hand, but we can worship and praise Him when the special provision comes.  “I am the LORD; that is My name! I will not give My glory to another or My praise to idols”  (Isaiah 42:8)

Pray that God’s glory will be revealed through His Word.
