SCRIPTURE OF THE DAY: Numbers 20:1-13

PSALM OF THE WEEK: Psalm 138

HYMN OF THE DAY: #622 “When the Poor Ones (Cuando el Pobre)”

 

VERSE OF THE DAY: But the Lord said to Moses and Aaron, “Because you did not trust in me, to show my holiness before the eyes of the Israelites, therefore you will not bring this assembly into the land I have given them.”

 

Even Moses failed to trust God as much as he should have.  Even Moses paid the price for it.  When God calls us, as a church or as individuals, to do something that seems impossible, the temptation is to do it “our way” instead.  Then, when our way doesn’t produce the results that God’s way would have, we say, “See, I knew it was impossible.”  We pay the price.  God does call us to do impossible missions.  God uses the smallest churches to do the greatest things for him.  Anybody can do God’s will, even when it is seemingly impossible, or sounds as ridiculous as telling a rock to give water.  What is God calling you to do today?

 

PRAYER: O God, to whom nothing is impossible, grant that I may do your will no matter how impossible or incredible it may sound to me.  May you get the glory for everything we do. Amen.

 

See you in Church Sunday,
