Exodus 7-9
Inspired thots
Man's heart is callous; hard to change until disaster or inconvenience strikes. No wonder God brings about calamities upon people; it is to get their attention on Him. People are too focused on themselves. They do not know how to distinct themselves from the Lord; they think they are gods...
All of God's wonders and mighty acts are to declare who He is and to acknowledge Him; to do otherwise is foolishness. Those on God's side will be protected; those who fear Him will be blessed. It is each person's choice.
Act after act to declare how great God is.
A daily time out with the Lord Jesus, to hear Him speak to ME. I am asking the Lord to share HIS thoughts with ME, to teach me more about Himself, and how I can be drawn closer to Him... for 'His thoughts are not my thoughts and neither are His ways my ways' Isaiah 55:8,9. This blog is not a theological exegesis. This blog is to record down the INSIGHTS & INSPIRATIONS of God's Word to me; speaking LIFE into my life for Abundant life! :)

Hindsight to God's Plans
Exodus 5-7
Inspired thots
Yes, when you do not know the Lord, you would not give second thoughts or incline your heart towards Him. It was like that in the past and it is the same today... all over the world.
The Lord's plans take time to unveil which one must be patient about it. Difficulty and uncertainty may crop up along the way; perhaps even suffering... but the Lord's hand is upon it all for the BEST!
One can only have faith in the Lord and His Glory will be shown on hindsight.
Yes,Lord. Grant me patient as Your plan for me unfolds.

The Lord is Sovereign
Exodus 3 & 4
Inspired Thots
The Lord started to call Moses; He has ways to get his attention just like He does with any one of us... whether we are Christians or not; all man has been made in His image; so God does care for each person and knows all about man.
He is patient with Moses to explain His deliverance to Israel although Moses tried to skirt the issue. He is able to counter all arguments and human logic.
Moses contend that he is not eloquent; slow of speech and tongue... but God's ANSWER: "Who gave man his mouth? Who makes him deaf or mute? Who gives him sight or makes him blind? Is it not I, the Lord?"
(Ex 4:11)
One must be wise to acknowledge God in all his ways. Zipporah, Moses' wife, was wise to circumcise her child to ease God's anger; at least, she was educated in God's laws to abide by it and be safe. Women are more sensitive to God's ways.
Help me Lord to do likewise instead of wanting self-glory. May my heart be for my husband and family as You have ordained in Your wonderful plan. Thank You Lord for the past and now in the present lead me to the future with You all the way. Amen.

God Hears Our Cries
Exodus 1 & 2
Inspired thots
God knows our threshold of Everything.... pain, hurt, worry, anxiety, need....
He hears our cries of desperation and pain; 1 Cor. 10:13 promises God's Deliverance on us when it is too much. He sees our suffering and tears.
He knows who does good and when; and He rewards... even if they are not His people; they did His will. They feared Him. He honors those who fear Him; He rewards them according to their hearts' desires.
Though Moses' actions may be rash, God was there guiding him to execute His will. Here, Moses seem to be very initiative; he defended his fellow countryman and he was quick to help the ladies... but later, he faltered to rise up to God's call on service... hmm.. man can change.

The Cycle of Life
Genesis 50
Inspired thots
Jacob died.... Joseph died. But they saw their grandchildren. That is the cycle of life. To walk in the ways of God while you live all the days on earth.
No point holding grudges or being angry with one another; for God is the Judge in the end.Keep the heart aright with God and He will lead.
God gave life to be enjoyed with Him; in His ways.
These couple of days the Scriptures that come on consistently are Romans 8:28 and Proverbs 3:5,6. God is in control and will lead His people who stay with Him.

Walking with God All the Way
Genesis 47-49
Inspired thots
Jacob worshipped God all the days of his life; even to the very end. He acknowledged God in all his ways and God delivered him all the way. Such is our God who loves and shepherds; as Jacob rightly acknowleged. God is His angel of protection.
Jacob knew what is instored for his sons and grandsons; he blessed Joseph's sons in reverse order; Ephraim over Mansseh. He is living out Romans 8:28. He has walked with God so intimately that he KNOWS the 'right order' of things to come.
He breathed his last worshipping God.

Life Made Simple
Genesis 44 - 46
Inspired thots
Life is very simple when God is acknowledged as King and God; His rightful place. Although the circumstances seem not favorable, do not murmur or complain; it is God at work... for our good; we shall see on hindsight.
If you really believe in God, trust Him in ALL ways (Proverbs 3:5,6); surely HE directs and makes straight all your paths. Then, there shall be peace and contentment within the self. Many events may happen in your life but God is in control. He has it all in the palm of His hands; no worries... no stress.
Yes, Lord. It is a lesson for me; life is fleeting. Much will not be remembered. It is best to enjoy each day under God's grace; indeed I am not strong and wise to scale the heights of life alone as I age but as I allow God to reign in my life, He works all things well (Rom. 8:28); just like Jacob; God sustained him until all his heart's desires were fulfilled.
