DCLM Daily Manna For Today MESSAGE:
By divine arrangement, the Israelites were in Egypt for about 430 years, the last 400 of which they were in servitude. History indicates that after the death of Joseph, their guardian, there was a revolution that saw the uniting of the Upper and Lower Egypt. That merger also brought about the emergence of a Pharaoh that did not reckon with the noble role of Joseph. The Israelites were considered a threat and were subjected to a gruesome servitude. They cried to God for liberation and He raised Moses to be their deliverer. The text in focus today centres on His reassuring words to back up Moses in the process.

Life, certainly, is full of ups and downs. Israel enjoyed the best of times when Joseph was the second-in-command in Egypt but the worst of times thereafter. God is never blind to our plights nor is He indifferent to our pains. He appointed Moses who felt incapable and inadequate to do the job of delivering the suffering Israelites. God knows how, who and when to intervene in our plights. He is the “I AM that I AM”. He gave Moses the promise of success right from the outset of his commission (verse 12). What an assurance! God’s promises are as good as reality because He is, absolutely, a promise keeping God.
We may infer from all these that “Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the LORD delivereth him out of them all” (Psalm 34:19). Life is hardly a straight line, but God is always ready to deliver us from despair. He is aware of our sufferings and His promises to us are irrevocable. He will do what He promised, regardless of prevailing circumstances.
It is possible that you are at the moment struggling with a peculiar challenge for which you lack the might to tackle. Search the Scriptures and you will see that God has a promise for you in that regard.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:
Every promise of God is bankable

1. Admit that you are a sinner. "For all [humans] have sinned, and comes short of the glory of God....[and] the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord" (Romans 3:23)
2. Repent now. "Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out ...[for] if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness " (Acts 3:19, 1 John 1:9)
3. Believe that God loves you and Jesus died for you. "God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet Sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8)
4. Invite Jesus into your life through prayer of faith. Jesus says, "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me" (Revelation 3:20)
