Scripture Reading
Exodus 19:4
You yourselves have seen what I did to the Egyptians, and how I bore you on eagles' wings and brought you to myself.
Reflection
Before God gave Israel commandments at Sinai, he reminded them of what he had already done — he had borne them on eagles' wings. Obedience flows best not from duty but from memory and gratitude. Before you consider what God asks of you today, remember first what he has already carried you through. The One who brought you out will bring you in.
Prayer for Today
Lord, people are losing their lives each day because of addiction. Have Mercy on them, dear God and help them to know their true worth. Deliver them from drugs and alcohol and help them to know the truth that is found in the gospel. Help them to know your son Jesus as their Lord and Savior so that they can be clocked in righteousness and be free from the lies of the enemy. In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen.
Amen.
