always here

Exodus 13:22
"He took not away the pillar of the cloud by day, nor the pillar of fire by night, from before the people."

We are in Exodus 13, which records the events of Moses leading the Israelites out of slavery in Egypt to the land of milk and honey. God is going to take them THROUGH the challenges of the WILDERNESS. God is going with them! God's presence was always visible and with the people, "cloud by day," and "the pillar of fire by night." 24/7. 365.

Moses gets a lot of credit for the events of his life. He lived an incredible life with many amazing accomplishments. But, what did Moses do? His name appears 803 times in the Scriptures. But, everything he "did" was really GOD'S doing. It is always the Lord that is leading the way. It is always GOD making things happen.

God will always provide. Like He did for the Israelites, manna from heaven and water from rocks and so much more! Moses was just a prefigure of Jesus, our real Savior. Servants, like Moses, will come and go over time. Jesus is always here. God is faithful, He has it all planned out. God is with us too. We don't see the clouds or the fire, but He is always here! Amen!

I will make you

Matthew 4:19&20 "19 And He saith unto them, Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men. 20 And they straightway left their nets, and followed Him." In our "Follow Me" series, we study Jesus calling His disciples in the Gospel of Matthew. By the Sea of Galilee, a thriving fishing hub, Jesus saw Simon and Andrew casting nets as humble fishermen. His disciples were ordinary workers, not wealthy or educated elites. Jesus approached them and said, "Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men." Remarkably, they immediately left their jobs to follow Him. This brief exchange conveys a profound truth: Jesus says, "I will make you." Only God can transform us to accomplish His purpose. We should often pray, "Help me, God," seeking Jesus' guidance to follow His plan for our lives.

God’s patience

2 Peter 3:9 "The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance." God did not immediately punish King Solomon when he allowed his foreign wives to build altars for false gods. Despite multiple compromises, God remained patient. Over time, Solomon’s endorsement of idolatry defied God’s covenant, leading to divine judgment, including the loss of the kingdom for his son. Some mistake God’s patience for indifference or inaction, but He follows His plan in His timing. If our nation, culture, church, or we ourselves stray like Solomon, we can repent and return to God’s path. And, should do so sooner than later! Amen!

Romans 6:3&4 "3 Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into His death? 4 Therefore we are buried with Him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life." In our studies we are striving to understand God’s love and care. God's unconditional love for His followers, appreciating that we are part of GOD’S family! God is with us from cradle to grave. His divine presence is always giving us purpose and guidance. One of the most important milestones in the life of a Christian is baptism. When we are baptized, an indelible mark is made on our soul. This mark signifies a permanent transformation and dedication of the individual to God. The act of Baptism involves water and the invocation of the Holy Trinity. This ritual is seen as a symbolic washing away of original sin and a new birth into the life of Christ. Baptism is a foundational s...
