TODAY’S INSPIRATION: EXODUS17V8-16.

“⁸ ¶ Then came Amalek, and fought with Israel in Rephidim.

⁹ And Moses said unto Joshua, Choose us out men, and go out, fight with Amalek: to morrow I will stand on the top of the hill with the rod of God in mine hand.

¹⁰ So Joshua did as Moses had said to him, and fought with Amalek: and Moses, Aaron, and Hur went up to the top of the hill.

¹¹ And it came to pass, when Moses held up his hand, that Israel prevailed: and when he let down his hand, Amalek prevailed.

¹² But Moses’ hands were heavy; and they took a stone, and put it under him, and he sat thereon; and Aaron and Hur stayed up his hands, the one on the one side, and the other on the other side; and his hands were steady until the going down of the sun.

¹³ And Joshua discomfited Amalek and his people with the edge of the sword.

¹⁴ And the LORD said unto Moses, Write this for a memorial in a book, and rehearse it in the ears of Joshua: for I will utterly put out the remembrance of Amalek from under heaven.

¹⁵ And Moses built an altar, and called the name of it Jehovahnissi:

¹⁶ For he said, Because the LORD hath sworn that the LORD will have war with Amalek from generation to generation.” (KJV)

Dear Heavenly Father,

We come before you today, seeking your divine guidance and protection. As we reflect on Exodus 17:8-16, we are reminded of your incredible power and faithfulness in the face of adversity.

Lord, we humbly ask for your unwavering presence to be with us, just as you were with Moses during the battle against the Amalekites. Grant us the strength and courage to face any challenges that come our way, knowing that you are always by our side.

Teach us to trust in your provision, just as you provided water from the rock to quench the thirst of your people. May you continue to meet our every need and sustain us on our journey.

Lastly, instill in our hearts a spirit of gratitude and remembrance for your faithfulness throughout generations. May we never forget the victories you have won in our lives, and may we always give you the glory and honor that is due to your name.

In the mighty name of Jesus, we pray. Amen.
