God Never Leaves Me
Elementary kids are learning about the plagues in Exodus 4-13. I think about how each plague was specifically designed to disprove a different Egyptian god. These gods had been given false authority, but the Lord got to prove Himself mighty. He was in the process of delivering His people to the Promise Land. Through everything He showed His power, His authority, His greatness, that He is the one true God.
As kids are learning this, I can't help but think about what the Lord has been showing us through the "Slaying Giants" series. Not only does He deliver us through circumstances but He also fights to unmask false gods that are trying to root themselves in our lives. Greed, bitterness, comparison, and anxiety are giants that may have false authority in your lives right now, but that doesn't have to be true for you! As you're doing the work each Sunday to hand these things over, to fight these giants, know that God never leaves you. It's His power in you that allows you to conquer all of these things!
Maybe you need to claim these words as you're speaking giants out of your life:
For although we live in the flesh, we do not wage war according to the flesh, since the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but are powerful through God for the demolition of strongholds. We demolish arguments and every proud thing that is raised up against the knowledge of God, and we take every thought captive to obey Christ. 2 Corinthians 10:3-5
Reflect:
- What giants have you been struggling with lately?
- Do you really believe that the Lord will never leave you & will deliver you from whatever you're facing?
- How can your team help you & pray for you?
