Just Remember

The daily verse for 7/18 is from Deut 7:18, "Do not be afraid of them; remember what the Lord your God did to the king of Egypt and to all his people." GNT

Are there things in your life that seem so large, or out of control, that you feel like you have no chance of overcoming them?  We would all be well served to look to the Lord our God and follow Him through our seas of despair and out of our individual deserts.  God did not deliver His people out of Egypt immediately.  As a matter of fact, things got a lot worse for the people of Israel, in their captivity, before they got better.  Yet, when God finally delivered His people from Egypt, no one could doubt His power.  He completely annihilated the enemy; they were crushed under His mighty hand.

The same hand that delivered His people from their enemies, can also deliver us from our enemies.  It doesn't matter whether your enemy is a situation, a person, or multiple people.  When Christ is our King, He can overcome any enemy in our life.  We just need to trust Him for the outcome and know that He is able to part the seas in our lives.  So, if you are currently walking through the waters, remember that He can bring you through to the other side.  He has done it before and He can, no doubt, do it again.
