S // SCRIPTURE
Select a verse from today’s reading
Exodus 8:7-8 (NKJV) 7 And the magicians did so with their enchantments, and brought up frogs on the land of Egypt. 8 Then Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron, and said, “Entreat the LORD that He may take away the frogs from me and from my people; and I will let the people go, that they may sacrifice to the LORD.”
O // OBSERVATION
Why did this verse get your attention? Make a simple observation from the text
I noticed this time in the reading something interesting. The Egyptian magicians were able to duplicate, or counterfeit, the signs from God but we’re never able to undo the signs. They duplicated the snakes, and the blood, and the frogs, but they still needed God to put an end to them.
A // APPLICATION
How can I apply this to my life today?
The world is able to counterfeit all kinds of things and claim their power is equal to God’s power. They counterfeit love, marriage, spirituality, morality, and many other things.
But they can’t change what God has decreed. The power of God cannot be overcome or overwhelmed. I can have confidence in His genuine, authentic work.
P // PRAYER
Express yourself in prayer
Jesus, Everything was made through You. You are the true Author and Finisher of my faith. I place it firmly in You. The world May offer counterfeits all around but I know You as my true source. Amen.
