Hello. Thank you for listening to your daily Bible verse, the podcast that examines one verse each day to learn more about God and His will for us. I'm your host, Jennifer Slattery, and after this short word from our sponsor, we'll continue with our series titled Moses, Fearful to Faithful, with a discussion on today's Bible verse, Exodus 5:22.

Moses, Fearful to Faithful, and Exodus 5:22. Today's Bible verse is Exodus 5:22. "Moses returned to the Lord and said, Why, Lord, why have you brought trouble on this people?Is this why you sent me?"

Have you ever sensed God asking you to do something, taking a step in obedient faith, and this caused someone else's pain? A few years ago, our family tried to help an abused youth. Desperate to help her, we contacted the authorities, but their investigation exasperated the situation and further enraged her abusers. I felt to blame for the escalation of her abuse, and I felt like God was ignoring her plight and our prayers. I was angry, and I wanted to withdraw, to stop poking at the hornet's nest, if you will.

In answer to my angry prayers, God directed me to Exodus 5, to the passage in which Moses clearly felt the same. Despite his fear and anxiety, he'd obeyed God, returned to the very place in which he'd failed prior, stepped back into the darkness of seeing his people, including his family, viciously treated, and he'd stood up to the most powerful and oppressive ruler around, only to see his people's suffering, which was already intense, increase. The Pharaoh not only refused to let the Hebrew slaves go, he ordered their slave masters to, in essence, demand from them the impossible and beat them when they failed. In verses 6-9 we read, That same day Pharaoh gave this order to the slave drivers and overseers in charge of the people. You are no longer to supply the people with straw for making bricks. Let them go and gather their own straw, but require them to make the same number of bricks as before. Don't reduce the quota.

They are lazy. That is why they are crying out, let us go and sacrifice to our God. Make the work harder for the people so that they keep working and pay no attention to lies. When they couldn't produce the required amount, Pharaoh's slave drivers beat the Israelite overseers. To make matters worse, Moses' people blamed him for their misery. They said to Moses and his brother, May the Lord look on you and judge you. You have made us obnoxious to Pharaoh and his officials and have put a sword in their hand to kill us.

You can sense Moses' anguish in today's verse and all the unspoken questions that must have followed. Why, Lord, why did you ask me to step into this painful situation? Why did you force me to face such human suffering and then do nothing about it? You must have known what would happen. You are the I Am, the God of my forefathers, the creator who spoke to me in a burning bush, the one who said you'd heard the cries of your people. So why didn't you help them? Why did you allow this to happen?

Maybe you've been there. Maybe God asked you to make some significant parenting changes and your child rebelled. Maybe he told you to draw a firm boundary and it cost you a relationship. Maybe you've been praying for decades for someone only to see their situation grow worse. And in those seasons, when we might realize intellectually that God is loving, all powerful and good, our hearts can struggle to believe this. Our souls can become so overwhelmed with anguish and anxiety that we're unable to see past our pain. But here's the good news.

God remains with us in our weakness and despair, and he always finishes what he starts. Sometimes things do need to get worse before they get better for reasons only known to God. Sometimes we get to see the better he brings about, like Moses eventually did. But like what occurred with my family and that youth we tried to help, sometimes we don't, not for some time, maybe not until we reach heaven. Meanwhile, God asks us to trust. As I've said before, when we don't understand his hand, we must trust his heart. And when that feels near impossible, may we reflect deeply and repeatedly on Jesus's last moments on the cross.

May we remember the words of Romans 8:32. Will he not the father who willingly gave his son for us that we might live also graciously give us all things? Our God is and always will be for us. And he is and always will be actively and progressively shattering this world's darkness with his light. And so we wait in faith. We hold tight to faith and we live with faith. Let's pray.

Holy Father, remind us of your heart. Remind us of your power, of your promises, of your faithfulness, of how much you love us. Increase our faith. When we are walking in hard situations where it feels like everything is only getting worse, remind us that you are the God of the breakthrough. You are the God of the supernatural. You are the God of the miraculous. You are the God of perfect timing and unlimited power.

Thank you for your love for us. Thank you for the love that sent your son that we might be set free. When we doubt that love, remind us of your son. We love you and we praise you. And it is in his name that we pray. Amen.

Hello, thank you for listening to your daily bible verse, the podcast that examines one verse each day to learn more about God and His will for us. I'm your host, Jennifer Slattery. And after this short word from our sponsor, we'll dive into today's Bible verse, Psalm 91:1

Today's Bible verse is Psalm 91:1, "Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty." 

It's tornado season in Nebraska where I live and while some of our friends unfortunately experienced significant damage in our neighborhood, the storms have been more clamorous than catastrophic. While we've had to hunker down in the basement a couple times for the most part, we've remained comfortably tucked in our beds, finding the emergency sirens, the howling wind, and occasionally house shaking thunder more of a nuisance than fear. I cannot say the same for our daughter and son in law's dog, Bubba. However, as we discovered about a week ago, when he and his little sister spent the weekend with us, the poor guy does not weather storms, well, terrified, he wanted to not only remain as close to us as possible, but he also dove under the blankets trying to seek shelter beneath us. While we certainly weren't the biggest or even strongest thing he could hide under from his perspective, we were the most powerful and so when afraid, he turned to us to keep him safe.

 In two recent faith over fear podcast episodes, another podcaster and I talked about some powerful Scripture that helps quiet fear if you struggle with anxiety, I encourage you to check those out the first dropped on June 18. And the second on the 25th. Again, you can find full on the Faith Over Fear podcast accessed wherever you listen to podcast content. 

In today's verse, God invites us to seek shelter in him. And unlike my husband and I his strength and power are limitless, and he's bigger than anyone or anything coming against us. He is the Most High, a low when or Elohim, a word in the original Hebrew that emphasizes his supremacy, the fact that he is greater than or stronger than all and above all, he is the highest possible being and the highest object of human worship. He is also the Almighty, the English translation for Shaddai, which in the original Hebrew means breasts, field or land and therefore has the connotation of provision, fruitfulness and nourishment. Putting these two names together then we see the psalmist is declaring God to be big and strong enough to keep him safe and capable of providing for all his needs. No wonder he can rest in the shelter of God's presence although some translation state in his secret place. 19th century theologian Albert Barnes wrote that this implied abiding where God abides adding quote, "the idea is that of having one's home or residence in the Most Holy Place in the tabernacle or temple, and of sitting with him in that sacred place" and quote, in Psalm 27:5 ancient Israel second king, a man by the name of David wrote that God would hide him in the shelter of His Sacred tent. Therefore to abide or dwell in God's shadow is to abide or to dwell to reside with to remain connected with God. 

Resting in a shadow implies the same level of proximity. I'm reminded of a game my daughter and I used to play when she was young while outside on sunny days, we would try to jump on or catch one another shadows while the other person tried to keep enough distance between them to keep that from occurring. But simply, one must follow someone closely in order for their shadow to fall upon them. remaining in God's shadow then means seeking His will and doing our best to remain yielded to His Spirit in every moment. This in turn leads to the sole deep rest of knowing we don't have to figure everything out. We don't have to solve our own problems, fight our own battles, meet our own needs, make ourselves righteous or earn our salvation. All we must do in each moment is follow. However, God leads trusting him to take care of everything else of all that concerns us. In Christ, we can cease our stressing, striving and conniving and lean into a steady strong an ever present embrace knowing he will respond onto our storms in one of three ways, he will lead us well away from the storms path before we're even aware the rain has begun to fall. Or he'll tell us to flee and will show us precisely how to do so. Or he'll give us what we need to stand strong amidst the howling wind. We see in Scripture, examples of God caring for his children in each of these ways. What we don't see, however, is him abandoning them in their fear, nor will we ever see him respond to us in that way. He will always offer a shelter in his secret place in the shadow of his will.

Let's pray. Holy Father, you are so loving, faithful, attentive, powerful, and gracious. You are God. Almighty, you hold all power in your hands, you reign supreme. You are faithful and you are loving and you are always present, you will never leave us. You will never forsake us. You surround us with Your love and you Speak tenderly to us. You invite us to draw near always you never turn us away. When we are afraid. May we turn to you? May we rest in you may we seek your will. May we listen for your voice and may we follow however you lead knowing that you will watch over us that you will keep us in your loving embrace. Thank You that we don't have to figure everything out. Thank You that we don't have to fight our own battles. They choose that you fight on our behalf. Thank you that you have good plan for us and you have the power to bring that good to pass. Thank you for sending Jesus Christ, the one who allowed us to have a deeply connected relationship with you from now to eternity. We love you and we praise you and it is in the name of Jesus our Savior, your son that we pray. Amen.

Hello, thank you for listening to your daily bible verse, the podcast that examines one verse each day to learn more about God and His will for us. I'm your host, Jessica Van Roekel. And after this short word from our sponsor, we'll dive into today's Bible verse, Numbers 14:24.

Today's Bible verses Numbers 14:24. "but because my servant Caleb had a different spirit and follows me wholeheartedly, I will bring him into the land he went to, and his descendants will inherit it."

Two people can experience the beach but come back with differing perspectives. One might say it was too hot, and the other say it was just right. It was so relaxing to sit on the beach and watch the waves. All the stuff I had to carry me It's so stressful. It was fun to watch the people play in the waves. I felt too crowded there were too many people. I love the way sand fields in between my toes in the sand, it gets everywhere. I definitely recommend a beach vacation. Don't go it is not worth it. 

 Perspective matters and the power of opinion can influence our decision. differing perspectives is not a new concept. Adam and Eve differed on who to blame when they ate from the tree of knowledge. Jacob and Isa differed on their perspective of birthrights Moses sent a scouting party of 12 to investigate the Promised Land 10 came back with one report, and two came back with a different report. Numbers chapters 13 and 14 read like a fast paced fiction novel. Only this is a true account of the power of opinion and the belief systems people hold. It's important to remember the Israelites had been enslaved for 400 years where the mindset of inferiority overtook their belief in their powerful Yahweh. They experienced a miraculous emancipation and rescue. But it hadn't penetrated to their belief system yet. When God led them to the edge of the promised land, he instructed Moses to send a scouting party comprised of 12 leaders of the Israelites into Canaan to bring back a report about the land. They came back with glowing reports about a land full of goodness and fruitfulness, rich soil and beautiful crops. But then they described the people as great and mighty while they were small and insignificant. 10 of the leaders declared they could not take the land. Except for to Caleb and Joshua. These two men believed they could and told the people so but belief systems reveal themselves in times of change or crisis, and the people revealed how they saw themselves as insignificant and weak. Instead of believing God for the impossible, which he had proved to them time and time again. They accused God of plotting to harm them. They rejected God's plan and promise when they decided they would select a new leader to lead them back to Egypt to a life of slavery. Moses and Aaron tore their clothes as a sign of grief and dropped to the ground in prayer. Joshua and Caleb tore their clothes as well, but they attempted to convince the people to believe in God's power to do the impossible but the people wouldn't listen. Their fear and unbelief lead them to pick up stones to stone Joshua and Caleb. In the middle of this chaos, God appeared at the tentative meeting to speak to Moses, the dilemma between faith and unbelief came to a climax. What would the people believe? Would they quit grumbling and rebelling against the Lord and choose faithfulness and belief? 

 Caleb believed God in the face of overwhelming in disbelief. He was bold and courageous. Numbers 32:12 describes him as a man who wholeheartedly followed God. He allowed God to show him the way to take and how to conduct himself and Caleb filled up with God's Spirit and influence. This allowed him to say in Numbers 14:8-9 to his family and friends, if the Lord is pleased with us, He will lead us into the land, a land flowing with milk and honey, and will give it to us only do not rebel against the Lord. And do not be afraid of the people of the land because we will devour them. Their protection is gone, but the Lord is with us. Do not be afraid of them. The Walk of Faith is hard, because it requires us to adopt a different perspective than those around us. We longed to be different and unique. But when it comes right down to it, we have a hard time standing alone. Caleb's stand of faith seemed futile before the people, but God rewarded his faith and belief. Faithfulness is a key priority to God. Believing God can keep his word and that he is fully trustworthy requires us to become like Caleb, in our spirits. We can be bold in faith in the face of disbelief. We can believe God when the odds are stacked against us. courage to stand firm when other people fail to believe God can be our stance. Let's choose to believe God with all our heart. 

Let's pray. Holy God, I thank you. Thank you for being powerful, and almighty able to do the impossible. God I pray that as we live our lives for you, Lord, that we will take the stance that believes you when all around us screams that we should believe otherwise. Lord, I love you And Lord, I give you my life and my heart. And I give you my belief. Lord, I believe you fill me up with your spirit and influence so that I live for you so that I do not waver in my belief that you are able to accomplish more than I can ever imagine. But I pray that as we step into today, Lord, that we would believe you that we would walk in faith that we would be courageous in our belief in you. In Jesus name, Amen.
