Fire on the Desert

I start every morning with coffee with God through daily devotions from Our Daily Bread. Today’s devotion is titled “Fire in the Desert.” Tim Gustafson wrote this devotion. The scripture reading is from Exodus 3:1–10; with the key verse, “I am sending you to Pharaoh to bring my people the Israelites out of Egypt.”, Exodus 3:10. My beloved children, grandchildren, cousins, nephews, brothers, and sisters in Christ; for all I write, I first pray to God to guide my words to serve as spiritual food and guidance. I desire God to be my sole source of writing. All the credit goes to God, not me. I am his humble servant. I thank God that He led to use Our Daily Bread Ministries as my inspiration for comments.

What helped me learn about God was in hindsight. While stationed in Greece, I collided head-on into a car while riding my bicycle without a helmet. The driver attempted to pass another vehicle on a blind curve. We never saw each other until it was too late. I hit the car head-on and landed close to 100 feet from the point of impact. My bicycle was totaled. The only injury I had was a skinned knee and a broken wrist.

I could have died and spent eternity in Hell, but God spared me, and years later, I became a Christian. It became evident to me that God had a plan for me to serve Him. I am truly blessed.

Today you can enjoy the same benefits of His blessings. God offers this rescue to everyone. Christ came to die for the sins of the whole world. By faith in Him, you can become a child of the living God.

Reflect:

What surprising things have helped you learn about God? How are you living in the knowledge that you are one of His children?

Prayer:

Thank You, Father, for making Yourself accessible to me despite Your great power, holiness, and overwhelming presence.

My Prayer for You:

I pray that The Father will make himself accessible to you.
