Daily Devotions

Today’s Scripture: "What if some were unfaithful? Does their faithlessness nullify the faithfulness of God?” Romans 3:3, ESV   

Theme: Though people suffer consequences because we are flawed, stiff-necked, and rebellious, God remains faithful, continually offering redemption. 

Today’s Scripture: “And the Lord said to Moses and Aaron, ‘Because you did not believe in me, to uphold me as holy in the eyes of the people of Israel, therefore you shall not bring this assembly into the land that I have given them.’” Numbers 20:12 

Theme: When we prioritize how we look to others over obeying God exactly, there are consequences; yet God remains faithful. 

Today's Scripture: “Then Moses and Aaron gathered the assembly together before the rock, and he said to them, ‘Hear now, you rebels: shall we bring water for you out of this rock?’” Numbers 20:10, ESV 

Theme: Due to their pride and anger, Moses and Aaron chose to elevate themselves, taking credit for providing water rather than following God’s specific instructions. 

Today’s Scripture: “The next day Moses said to the people, 'You have sinned a great sin. And now I will go up to the Lord; perhaps I can make atonement for your sin.’” Exodus 32:30, ESV 

Theme: Like Moses, a godly leader continues to intercede on behalf of the people he was called to lead, recognizing wrongs and seeking to help atone for them. 

Today’s Scripture: “And the Lord said to Moses, 'I have seen this people, and behold, it is a stiff-necked people.'” Exodus 32:9, ESV 

Theme: From antiquity to today, God recognizes His people as “stiff-necked”--stubborn, prideful, and difficult; however, He chooses to lead and save us anyway.
