Scripture

But I want to remind you, though you once knew this, that the Lord, having saved the people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed those who did not believe.
Jude 1:5

Observation

The Israelites trusted in God and pleased God while they were slaves in Egypt and God delivered them. However after they left Egypt they stopped trusting in Him and stopped pleasing Him. Therefore the same God who delivered them because of their faith, allowed them to die in the wilderness because of their unbelief.

Application

Just like the Israelites, we cannot rely on yesterday’s faith. Today is a new day with new challenges. Trusting in God is a daily, moment-by-moment choice that we must continually make. We must trust in God today. We must walk with God closely and listen to His voice today.

Prayer

Father God, I thank You for all the ways You have blessed me in the past. You have provided for all of my needs, healed me of all my sicknesses, and always been there for me. I remember what great things You have done. Help me to walk closely with You, trust in You, and be pleasing to You today. Thank You that that as I walk with You and trust in You today, You will do even greater things on my behalf… in Jesus name amen.
