    Focus Passage: Exodus 3:1-4 ESV

    ”Now Moses was keeping the flock of his father-in-law, Jethro, the priest of Midian, and he led his flock to the west side of the wilderness and came to Horeb, the mountain of God. And the angel of the Lord appeared to him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush. He looked, and behold, the bush was burning, yet it was not consumed. And Moses said, “I will turn aside to see this great sight, why the bush is not burned.” When the Lord saw that he turned aside to see, God called to him out of the bush, “Moses, Moses!” And he said, “Here I am.”
    Exodus 3:1-4 ESV

    Today's passage begs the question: Am I close enough to God to hear his voice?

    Proverbs 16:1-4
    1 The plans of the heart belong to man,
    but the answer of the tongue is from the Lord.
    2 All the ways of a man are pure in his own eyes,
    but the Lord weighs the spirit.
    3 Commit your work to the Lord,
    and your plans will be established.
    4 The Lord has made everything for its purpose,
    even the wicked for the day of trouble.

    Today's passage begs the question: Am I pursuing the right plan?

    How Do I Get What God Promised?
    Five by the Fire Podcast - Season 3, Ep. 4

    Read, Meditate, Contemplate, and Pray Through God's Word Today!

    Focus Passage
    1 Samuel 24:3-7 ESV
    3 And he came to the sheepfolds by the way, where there was a cave, and Saul went in to relieve himself. Now David and his men were sitting in the innermost parts of the cave. 4 And the men of David said to him, “Here is the day of which the Lord said to you, ‘Behold, I will give your enemy into your hand, and you shall do to him as it shall seem good to you.’” Then David arose and stealthily cut off a corner of Saul’s robe. 5 And afterward David’s heart struck him, because he had cut off a corner of Saul’s robe. 6 He said to his men, “The Lord forbid that I should do this thing to my lord, the Lord’s anointed, to put out my hand against him, seeing he is the Lord’s anointed.” 7 So David persuaded his men with these words and did not permit them to attack Saul. And Saul rose up and left the cave and went on his way.

    Today's passage begs the question: Do I need to FIGHT to get what God promised me?

    "What Should I Do With My Life?"

    "What Should I Do With My Life?"

    "What Should I Do With My Life?"
    Five by the Fire Podcast - Season 3, Ep. 3

    Read, Meditate, Contemplate, and Pray THrough God's Word Today!

    Focus Passage
    1 Corinthians 15: 55-58
    55 Where, O Death, is your victory? Where, O Death, is your sting?” 56 The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the Law; 57 but thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.58 Therefore, my beloved brothers and sisters, be firm, immovable, always excelling in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.

    Today's passage begs the question: What does excelling in the work of the Lord look like for you?
    I believe there are at least 4 areas we are called to lean into the work of the Lord in our lives?

    1. The Work of the Lord is in You.
    2. The Work of the Lord is in Your Family
    3. The Work of the Lord is in Your Church
    4. The Work of the Lord is in the World
