FAITH CAPSULE: God will not fail in His plan and purpose for your life if you will accept and abide in Him.

Exodus 3

God is a God of purpose and He aligns all of his creations for a purpose at an appointed place and appointed time. However, the adversary of man wants to disappoint what God has appointed. The children of Israel were appointed by God for the Promised Land and what the adversary wanted for them is to trap them in the wilderness. Just as the adversary wanted it for the children of Israel, so he wants it for God’s children today. God appointed Moses to lead the children of Israel out of the bondage of over four hundred years in Egypt. Also, God appointed Jesus to save and deliver us from destruction. When it was time for God to move His children out of the bondage He sent Moses with the promise that the children of Israel will heed his voice as regard to His plan of deliverance for them. God also gave Moses His word for the king of Egypt, “…you shall say to him, ‘The LORD God of the Hebrews has met with us; and now, please, let us go three days’ journey into the wilderness, that we may sacrifice to the LORD our God.’ But I am sure that the king of Egypt will not let you go, no, not even by a mighty hand. So I will stretch out My hand and strike Egypt with all My wonders which I will do in its midst; and after that he will let you go. And I will give this people favor in the sight of the Egyptians; and it shall be, when you go, that you shall not go empty-handed.2 But every woman shall ask of her neighbor, namely, of her who dwells near her house, articles of silver, articles of gold, and clothing; and you shall put them on your sons and on your daughters. So you shall plunder the Egyptians.” It was a well detailed message for the King and also for the children to see what was ahead for them. He is a God of purpose yesterday, today and forever. The striking part in His plan states, “…But I am sure that the king of Egypt will not let you go, no, not even by a mighty hand. 20 So I will stretch out My hand and strike Egypt with all My wonders…” God’s outstretched hand to the children of Israel is not only to deliver them but also to give them uncommon favor. The same outstretched hand is the Wonderful Counselor that we have in Jesus today. God will not fail in His plan or purpose for your life if you will accept and abide in Him.

Prayer for today: Help me Lord. Take my days and my moments and let them be concentrated on you.
