August 3, 2025

5 Biblical Examples

Study how God gave specific, detailed directions to His people and how obedience shaped His divine plan.

1. Noah and the Ark

Scripture: Genesis 6:14–16
Instruction Given:
God told Noah to build an ark with exact measurements, materials (gopher wood), and design (three decks, a window, and a door).

Reflection Questions:

  • Why do you think God was so specific with the ark’s design?
  • What can we learn about obedience from Noah’s response?

2. Moses and the Exodus

Scripture: Exodus 3:10
Instruction Given:
God called Moses to go to Pharaoh and lead the Israelites out of Egypt.

Reflection Questions:

  • What fears did Moses have about this task?

3. Joshua and the Fall of Jericho

Scripture: Joshua 6:3–5
Instruction Given:
March around Jericho once for six days, then seven times on the seventh day with trumpets before the walls would fall.

Reflection Questions:

  • Why might God have used such an unusual battle plan?
  • What does this teach us about trusting God’s process?

4. Elijah by the Brook

Scripture: 1 Kings 17:3–4
Instruction Given:
God told Elijah to hide in the Kerith Ravine, drink from the brook, and wait for ravens to feed him.

Reflection Questions:

  • How did God provide for Elijah in this hidden place?

5. Disciples Preparing the Passover

Scripture: Luke 22:8–12
Instruction Given:
Jesus told Peter and John where to go, whom to meet, and how to prepare the Passover meal.

Reflection Questions:

  • Why did Jesus give such detailed steps for the Passover?
  • What does this moment tell us about preparation in God’s timing?

Personal Application

  • Has God ever given you a clear instruction or nudge in your heart?
  • How can you become more attentive and obedient to His voice in your daily life?

A Nation Under God

July 20, 2025

A Nation Under God

Few stories shine as brightly as the history of our great nation. Woven together with courage, sacrifice, and faith, the United States was founded on principles that echo the heart of freedom, life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

From the first settlers who crossed oceans seeking religious liberty, to the brave hearts who stood on battlefields defending that liberty, we have been a people called to stand for truth and justice. Though our journey has not been perfect, we continue to press forward, leaning not on our own understanding, but on the faith that guided our forefathers.

Our strength is not found solely in our might or wealth, but in the moral compass that points us to God. When we honor Him, we flourish. When we walk in humility and justice, we shine as a beacon of hope to the world.

Today, as we face new challenges and uncertain tomorrows, may we remember who we are and whose we are. Let us recommit to being a nation under God, not just in name, but in heart. Let us live with integrity, pray with boldness, and serve with love. For only with His guidance and presence can we truly thrive.

Let us pray, A Prayer for Our Nation

Heavenly Father,

We thank You for the gift of this great land, a place of promise, opportunity, and freedom. You have blessed us beyond measure, and we humbly acknowledge that every good thing we have comes from Your hand.

Lord, we ask for Your guidance today. As a nation, we need Your wisdom in our leaders, Your peace in our communities, and Your healing in our hearts. Help us to turn from division and pride, and to walk instead in unity and humility. Restore what has been broken, renew what has been forgotten, and revive our hearts to seek You first.

Let Your presence be felt from the highest office to the smallest home. May Your truth guide our decisions, Your love shape our actions, and Your Spirit move mightily among us.

God, bless America, not for our own glory, but so that we might be a light to the world, a people known by our love, and a nation that honors You in all we do.

In Jesus’ name,
Amen.

The Spiritual Battle

July 12, 2025

The Battle is Real, But So Is Our Victory

“For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.” – Ephesians 6:12 (KJV)

Every day, we face a spiritual battle that is not seen with human eyes, but it’s very real. The enemy tries to steal our peace, distort the truth, and weaken our faith. But God has equipped us with everything we need to stand strong.

Put on the full armor of God (Ephesians 6:10-18), stay rooted in His Word, and remember: the war has already been won through Jesus Christ. When we pray, worship, and walk in truth, we don’t fight for victory; we fight from victory.

YOU ALONE ARE GOD

June 22, 2025

Isaiah 37:20 (ESV):
“So now, O Lord our God, save us from his hand, that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that you alone are the Lord.”

Reference Context

This verse is part of a powerful prayer spoken by King Hezekiah of Judah during a time of great national crisis. The mighty Assyrian empire, under King Sennacherib, had invaded Judah and was threatening Jerusalem. The Assyrian king had mocked God and boasted that no god of any nation had been able to stand against him.

In response, Hezekiah goes to the temple, spreads out the threatening letter before God, and prays. Isaiah 37:20 is the climax of that prayer. Read it: Isaiah 37:16-20

The Great Elaboration (for study use)

1. “So now, O Lord our God”
Hezekiah acknowledges the Lord as their God. This isn’t a distant deity; this is the covenant-keeping God of Israel, the one who has a personal relationship with His people.

2. “Save us from his hand”
Hezekiah is not only asking for a military victory, but also for divine intervention. He knows that Judah has no hope of survival unless God steps in to deliver them.

3. “That all the kingdoms of the earth may know”
This is critical: Hezekiah’s motive isn’t just self-preservation. He wants God to act in a way that brings glory to His name. He wants the world to witness God’s power and know that the God of Israel is not like the powerless idols of other nations.

4. “That You alone are the Lord”
Hezekiah’s prayer ends with a declaration of monotheism (one). There is one true God, and He alone is sovereign. Deliverance would demonstrate that God isn’t one among many, but the only Lord.

APPLY THIS TO YOUR LIFE

This verse is a beautiful example of faith under pressure. It shows us how to pray in a crisis, not just asking for help, but asking that God would be glorified through our situation.

It also reminds us:

  • To turn to God first when we’re threatened or overwhelmed.
  • That God’s deliverance can be a testimony to others.
  • That glorifying God should be the heart of our petitions.

***THANK YOU FOR READING. IF YOU ENJOYED THIS STUDY AS YOUR SUNDAY DEVOTION, THANK YOU AGAIN, AND LET ME KNOW.

Sunday Devotion: Trust the One Who Sees It All
This Sunday, take a moment to rest in the truth that God sees the full picture of your life, even the parts you don’t understand yet. While we may feel uncertain or impatient, God is working behind the scenes, aligning every detail for your good. Be still in His presence today, and let your heart be reminded: His timing is perfect, His ways are higher, and His love never fails.
