In the first part of Moses’s story, we reflected on trusting God’s timing. But another key lesson from his life is learning to trust God’s strength. Moses faced overwhelming challenges, leading a nation out of slavery, confronting Pharaoh, and guiding the Israelites through the wilderness. At every turn, Moses realized that the work was too big for him, but never too big for God.
One of the most striking moments of dependence on God’s strength was at the Red Sea. Trapped between the Egyptian army and the water, the Israelites panicked. Moses, however, declared God’s promise: “The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still” (Exodus 14:14). When Moses lifted his staff, God parted the sea, making a way where there was none.
Moses’s story reminds us that it’s not about our ability but God’s power working through us. When we feel inadequate, we can rely on His strength to carry us through. Like Moses, we are called to trust Him completely, even when the obstacles seem insurmountable.

Prayer
Lord, thank You for Your promise to fight for me and to make a way even when I can’t see it. Teach me to trust in Your strength rather than my own and to step forward in faith when You call. Help me to rely on Your power in every situation. I give You all honor, all the glory, and all the praise. It’s in Jesus’ name I pray. Amen & Amen.
