EXODUS 14:13 (CEB)
Don’t be afraid. Stand your ground, and watch the LORD rescue you today.
ACTS 26:29 (MSG)
Paul, still in chains, said, “That’s what I’m praying for, whether now or later, and not only you but everyone listening today, to become like me—except, of course, for this prison jewelry!”
SUMMARY SENTENCE
Sometimes God's people end up in chains—no cause for panic because he is a rescuer.
DAILY FODDER
How has God rescued you in the past?
PRAYER
Steadfast Deliverer, thank you for rescuing me time and time again. Paul had his chains. I confess I have mine. They are fear, resentment, and unrest, to name a few. I need your deliverance today. Whether rescue comes slowly or quickly, help me like Paul, to stand firm in faith. I will try to not be afraid. Please come. Amen. (Daily Texts, Ground Up Grace edition)
Our Father in Heaven,
we hold your name in the highest regard.
Please come and establish your reign here on earth
so that everything that happens here will align
with what is happening in heaven.
Give us enough food for today.
Forgive us our wrongdoing,
and we’ll forgive those who have wronged us.
Shield us from the trials and temptations that come our way.
Lastly, we pray that you would protect us from all forms of evil. Amen.
