Morning Scripture
”And the Lord hardened the heart of Pharaoh king of Egypt, and he pursued the children of Israel; and the children of Israel went out with boldness. So the Egyptians pursued them, all the horses and chariots of Pharaoh, his horsemen and his army, and overtook them camping by the sea beside Pi Hahiroth, before Baal Zephon.“
Exodus 14:8-9 NKJV
https://bible.com/bible/114/exo.14.8-9.NKJV
”The Lord hardened the heart of Pharaoh, the king of Egypt, so he chased after the people of Israel, who had left with fists raised in defiance. The Egyptians chased after them with all the forces in Pharaoh’s army—all his horses and chariots, his charioteers, and his troops. The Egyptians caught up with the people of Israel as they were camped beside the shore near Pi-hahiroth, across from Baal-zephon.“

Morning Prayer
Heavenly Father, thank you for all things. Father, help us to lead with love, not hate. Father help us to recognize when our hearts are hardened with sadness, revenge, or ________, so that we can stop and look to you to give us a clean heart. Guide us so that we do not strike out on a path doomed for failure. Help us, Lord, so that our heart sees you in all things. In Jesus name we pray. Amen.

Morning Scripture
”Now it was told the king of Egypt that the people had fled, and the heart of Pharaoh and his servants was turned against the people; and they said, “Why have we done this, that we have let Israel go from serving us?” So he made ready his chariot and took his people with him. Also, he took six hundred choice chariots, and all the chariots of Egypt with captains over every one of them.“ Exodus 14:5-7 NKJV https://bible.com/bible/114/exo.14.5-7.NKJV ”When word reached the king of Egypt that the Israelites had fled, Pharaoh and his officials changed their minds. “What have we done, letting all those Israelite slaves get away?” they asked. So Pharaoh harnessed his chariot and called up his troops. He took with him 600 of Egypt’s best chariots, along with the rest of the chariots of Egypt, each with its commander. The Lord hardened the heart of Pharaoh, the king of Egypt, so he chased after the people of Israel, who had left with fists raised in defiance.“ Exodus 14:5-8 NLT https://bible.com/bible/116/exo.14.5-7.NLT |
Morning Prayer
Heavenly Father, thank you for all things. Father God, help me (us) to self-regulate. When I am (we are) angry, help me (us) to exercise choice of words and actions. When I am (we are) sad, help me (us) not to lash out or retreat. And, when I am (we are) confused, help me (us) to hear clearly your voice in an otherwise noisy emotional space. Father, Pharaoh became angry and utilized every weapon at his disposal - a waste of resources and he left the rest of his people unattended. Father, help me (us) to consider all aspects so that we do not leave what is important unguarded or ignored. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen. Transparency: Sometimes we become so angry or unfocused by outside circumstances, that we loose focus on what is already present and available in our lives. Father, help us to breathe and think clearly, before we react and lose everything. Glory. Amen. |

Morning Scripture
”So they took their journey from Succoth and camped in Etham at the edge of the wilderness. And the Lord went before them by day in a pillar of cloud to lead the way, and by night in a pillar of fire to give them light, so as to go by day and night. He did not take away the pillar of cloud by day or the pillar of fire by night from before the people.“ Exodus 13:20-22 NKJV https://bible.com/bible/114/exo.13.20-22.NKJV ”The Israelites left Succoth and camped at Etham on the edge of the wilderness. The Lord went ahead of them. He guided them during the day with a pillar of cloud, and he provided light at night with a pillar of fire. This allowed them to travel by day or by night. And the Lord did not remove the pillar of cloud or pillar of fire from its place in front of the people.“ Exodus 13:20-22 NLT https://bible.com/bible/116/exo.13.20-22.NLT |
Morning Prayer
Heavenly Father, thank you for all things. Father God thank you for your guidance. Thank you for being with us day and night. Thank you for leading us through the wilderness and the beaches of our lives. Father, we pray for discernment to recognize the pillars of direction that you give us daily - the slight (or sharp) internal nudges that you give us to be quiet, the whispers in our heart to listen, the words from friends that you’ve given them to comfort us, or the ______________. Lord, we want to walk the path you have created us for. Father, hear our prayer. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen. |

Morning Scripture
”Now the Lord spoke to Moses, saying: “Speak to the children of Israel, that they turn and camp before Pi Hahiroth, between Migdol and the sea, opposite Baal Zephon; you shall camp before it by the sea. For Pharaoh will say of the children of Israel, ‘They are bewildered by the land; the wilderness has closed them in.’ Then I will harden Pharaoh’s heart, so that he will pursue them; and I will gain honor over Pharaoh and over all his army, that the Egyptians may know that I am the Lord.” And they did so.“ Exodus 14:1-4 NKJV https://bible.com/bible/114/exo.14.1-4.NKJV ”Then the Lord gave these instructions to Moses: “Order the Israelites to turn back and camp by Pi-hahiroth between Migdol and the sea. Camp there along the shore, across from Baal-zephon. Then Pharaoh will think, ‘The Israelites are confused. They are trapped in the wilderness!’ And once again I will harden Pharaoh’s heart, and he will chase after you. I have planned this in order to display my glory through Pharaoh and his whole army. After this the Egyptians will know that I am the Lord!” So the Israelites camped there as they were told.“ Exodus 14:1-4 NLT https://bible.com/bible/116/exo.14.1-4.NLT |
Morning Prayer
Heavenly Father, thank you for your Word that reminds us that in the midst of deliverance, we may feel stagnant and our challenger may think we are confused. But thank you for this Word that assures us that you are in control, that you have not left us, that deliverance is still promised, and that in the end you will get the glory. Hallelujah. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen. Amen. Amen. And Thank You, Lord. (The original longer prayer - more like commentary - LOL) Heavenly Father, thank you for all things. Father, thank you for your word that brings clarity. Father, sometimes after we have been released from situations or our lives change directions, we feel stuck. Sometimes those around us (and ourselves) think that we have changed our minds and we want to remain in those spaces. But this scripture tells us that the backwards and the confusion can happen. This scripture also says that you have not left us, your promise of deliverance is still in motion, and your glory shall be displayed. Glory to your name. Father, thank you for your word that teaches, reminds, and reassures all at once. Glory to your name. Amen. Amen. Amen. This is a WORD for each of us that felt delivered and felt stuck at the same time, wondering and wandering about our release from the physical and emotional captivity. I must admit that sometimes our emotions and fear keep us stagnant - for much longer than God intended. And sometimes I - (I mean We) stay too long and miss our blessing. But there is purpose in the waiting - for us and for our challenger - to see Gods glory to come.
This blessed my soul today. I hope it blesses yours as well. We HAVE to keep our eyes on the prize. Amen. PS. I used the word challenger today on purpose. Sometimes we believe that everything that doesn't go our way is of the enemy. Sometimes our challenger is ourselves or our situations (relationships, jobs, church, decisions, etc....) Yes, sometimes it is The Enemy. But, sometimes, it is our opportunity to be faced with a challenge and choice in our lives that grows us and expands our thoughts. So let us ALL take an opportunity to rethink the bumps in the road. Glory and Amen. |
