“I can do all this through him who gives me strength” (Philippians 4:13)

When the Israelites finally reached the Promised Land it was rather an anti-climax. A journey that had started in the midst of great miracles that that had humbled Pharaoh with the devastating parting of the Red Sea and drowning of the chasing soldiers all ended with only two reaching ( Exodus 14:21).

For Moses, lack of enough belief had run him into problems. “But the LORD said to Moses and Aaron, “Because you did not trust in me enough to honor me as holy in the sight of the Israelites, you will not bring this community into the land I give them.” (Numbers 1:12).

Belief that our God is able to do more than we can imagine is something central to our Christian faith. This belief is not a blind belief. In the above cases Moses and the Israelites had seen God perform innumerable miracles in their lives and yet still doubted. May we not be denied of ultimate victory simply because we allowed disbelief to have the better part of us. Let’s believe that the God who has got us here will always see us through.

Prayer for today: Lord father God of Abraham, maker of heaven and earth, I look back and see all the miracles you have wrought in my life, and with all this may my belief in you never waiver, this I pray in Jesus’ name!
