     | 4,243 views

    God’s knowledge of you is precise and full proof. He has exact intelligence on you; He’s better than the NSA or the KGB.

    We all want to know who we are. We seek and search and try to “find ourselves.” Many of us have taken personality tests and other assessments. We learn personality inventory lists that tell us we are a lion, a beaver, a competitor, a high “I,” high “D.” We all want to know who we are. But what if I ...read more

    We all deal with fear, and in the time in which we are now living, fear is multiplied over and over. The warning to “fear not” is frequently repeated in Scripture. Fear is described as bondage, torment, and a snare.

    Have you noticed that many things in life do not seem to change? For example, in our text, God delivered the Children of Israel from Egypt. But once they were delivered from Pharaoh, he changed his mind and decided to pursue after them and to bring them back.

    When the Israelites saw them in pursuit, the Bible says, “…They were sore afraid…” In that fear they turned to Moses and said something that was very disturbing. We read, “…And they said unto Moses, Because there were no graves in Egypt, hast thou taken us away to die in the wilderness? wherefore ...read more
