TODAY’S WORD…

.

“Don’t be afraid.

Just stand still and watch the Lord rescue you today.”

.

– Exodus 14:13

REFLECTION…

.

The words of Moses to the Jews as he led them out of Egypt,

underlie the theological virtue of hope.

.

God is the one who acts,

and if man stands firm in faith,

then he has no reason to fear.

.

Jesus is our model of faithfulness and hope.

He is the pioneer and perfecter of our faith.

.

Jesus endured so much suffering, and the cross,

because of His great love for us

and because He trusted in the Father’s promise of our salvation and deliverance,

and of the glory and the joy that would follow His victory over death.

.

Following Jesus’ example therefore,

we must persevere…with faith and hope..

and trust in the Christ’s redemption to rescue us

as, day by day, we walk along the path that God has set for us.

PRAYER…

.

Here I am Lord. I trust in You – today and every day!
