Dear Family,
Today is Thursday, April 24, 2025. This is Day 5 of Week 2 in our Counting toward Pentecost. It is our 12th day of Counting.
Exodus 19:4 Ye have seen what I did unto the Egyptians, and how I bare you on eagles’ wings, and brought you unto myself.
What if the ancient Israelites had understood what God was granting them when He placed His presence with them in the fire and cloud? What if they had understood how God was delivering them on “eagles’ wings?” What if they had only understood about the power of prayer and the access God was granting them to His divine presence and power? Would things have been different for them?
Today we can know these things. Life can be different for us. When Israel left Egypt the Holy Scriptures had not been written, canonized, and delivered to them. Today we have them. We also have millennia of history. And, we have the gift of God’s calling and His Holy Spirit.
Today, we have the “Good News.” Today we know that God’s master plan of salvation includes every human who will ever live. What God does, He always does with purpose…positive purpose. What ever God gives is good…and only good. There are so many witnesses to these truths. These are beautiful truths that the entire world needs to know, yet they have been covered over in the darkness of lies about God. However, we can walk in the light.
John 12:35 Then Jesus said unto them, Yet a little while is the light with you. Walk while ye have the light, lest darkness come upon you: for he that walketh in darkness knoweth not whither he goeth.
Ephesians 5:8 For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light:
1 John 1:7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.
As we go through the wilderness of our life’s journey, we can look forward to different outcomes than ancient Israel. God intends to show us the pitfalls. What is required of us is to be in His presence and walk in the light.
Psalm 119:105 Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path. God bless us all and light our way to Him.
