Deuteronomy 7:18
New International Version 1984 (NIV1984)
18 ... remember well what the Lord your God did to Pharaoh and to all Egypt.
Every night when I get comfortable in bed and close my eyes, I begin to pray to relax my body to sleep. Monday evening when I began this ritual, my prayers and thoughts went to the upcoming Bible lesson that Pat and I would be teaching next Sunday (I had begun to review the lesson before bed). January is our month to teach in "Kid's Central", our Sunday school program at Northlife Community Church here in Wilmington. The last 2 weeks we were teaching about Moses and the 10 plagues of Egypt. This week we will be covering the "Parting of the Red Sea", the "Manna from Heaven", and the "water from the stone". As I was praying of ways to enact these events to give the kids a more "hands on" lesson, I heard the Voice of God whisper to me. He said, "you know, I am still the same God that did those things".
I needed that reminder! Sometime we get comfortable and forget that God's awesome power is at our disposal. I have personally seen God's power at work, but sometimes I forget.
Take some time today and think about how God's power has worked in your life. Don't forget, he is always there waiting for us to cry out to Him for help.
