The Lord Be With You Today!
Exodus 4:4a-b
Then the Lord said to him, "Reach out your hand and take it by the tail."
So Moses reached out and took hold of the snake. . . .
(Courageously and obediently, Moses does take hold of the snake by its tail
as the Lord has commanded him to do,
showing his faith in the Lord's demonstration of power
and relying on God's Name that the Lord has revealed to him,
the I AM Who God has said He is and Who will protect him.
Rejecting his human understanding and instinctual responses,
Moses relies on the Lord for his safety.
We so often would rather try to rely on our own instincts,
on our own human wisdom, but the Lord desires for us
to rely on Him and on His greater wisdom and vision for us.
The Lord calls us today to reach out and take hold of what is threatening us,
to meet it head on because we walk in victory over what besets us.
Instead of running from the difficulty or the threat,
instead of recoiling in fear at the danger before us,
we can rely on the Lord's shield and defense,
on His transforming power to overcome,
an overcoming power that enables us to reach out and take hold
of whatever we face today with confidence.)
May the Lord richly bless you this day!
In Christ's love,
Blessings!
