Monday, November 16 – “The Lord said to her, ‘Two nations are in your womb, and two people from within you will be separated; one people will be stronger than the other, and the older will serve the younger.’” (Genesis 25:23) This is a prophetic word from God to Rebekah, about her future kids. Do you think that she remembered this prophetic word, and it influenced later decisions about her kids? What about you? Can a prophetic word of God influence decisions in your life?
Tuesday, November 17 – “Isaac, who had a taste for wild game, loved Esau, but Rebekah loved Jacob.” (Genesis 25:28) All parents say that they don’t have favorites. But, there are some parents who definitely do. And favoritism, among other things, can blur your perspective, when it comes to something being a scam or not. This is one of the many reasons why you want to be real with yourself and with God. So that God can help you to see clearly.
Wednesday, November 18 – “He is not here; he has risen! Remember how he told you, while he was still with you in Galilee.” (Luke 24:6) The disciples expected to see Jesus in the tomb. When they saw the tomb was empty, they probably had a passing fancy that they were the victims of some kind of scam. So, they had to be reminded of what they already knew. How about you? Do you need to reminded of something that you already know?
Thursday, November 19 – “Let my teaching fall like rain and my words descend like dew, like showers on new grass, like abundant rain on tender plants.” (Deuteronomy 32:2) Moses spoke those words to Israel, just before his death. Moses was praying that the descendants, of the people that he led out of slavery in Egypt, would be wise. That they would use the knowledge that they already possessed. So that they would overcome every scam.
Friday, November 20 – “By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau in regard to their future.” (Hebrews 11:20) If you aren’t aware, Esau traded his birthright to Jacob. Who later deceived Isaac, in order to officially receive Esau’s forfeited blessing. Isaac demonstrated faith in that, even after he realized what his sons had done, he still blessed them both. For he believed that God must’ve been up to something. If you also aren’t aware, that’s called faith.
Saturday, November 21 – “So this is what the Sovereign Lord says: ‘See, I lay a stone in Zion, a tested stone, a precious cornerstone for a sure foundation; the one who relies on it will never be stricken with panic.’” (Isaiah 28:16) This is a prophetic word about Jesus, written some 600 to 700 years before the first Christmas. Notice that, for a follower of Jesus, the promise isn’t that you’ll never panic. The promise is that you’ll never be stricken with panic. You’ll never be severely affected, troubled or overwhelmed.
