The means and the type of joy offered by the world are ineffective. God’s offer is by far superior and more desirable.

God’s time is the time He engages His miracle gear on your behalf and levels the obstacle for good. As we see in our passage of Scripture, when the people responded to God’s timing, He rolled back the water and they walked on dry ground.

That search was unnecessary if only they had listened. They could have saved themselves from that fruitless labour. The key point of our meditation today is that someone with deeper spiritual insight and wider life experiences can save you from a goose chase. 

Those who delight to shift blames rather than accept responsibility will hardly make any meaningful progress in life or in their walk with God.

God made man in His own image. The travesty is man trying to make God in his own image! Moses was on the mount with God receiving the law.

There could be strength in our weakness. Surrendering to the Lord is the key. This does not necessarily mean our external circumstances would change; it simply means something on the inside of us needs to alter.

Sin hardly happens at an instance; it usually involves a process. Consider how Eve fell for the tempter’s wiles.

Renewing of the mind is our pass out of the depravity characterizing this world into the beauty and victory that is in the kingdom. Without stressing this, the renewal must be by the word of God.

There is no need to be jealous of those who are already making the most of their callings and gifts. What we need to do is to get back to God and ask for where we belong.

Indiscretion has led to many disastrous consequences. It was the reason why Vashti lost her crown. King Ahasuerus whose kingdom spanned 127 provinces made a lavish banquet for his subjects.
