Afternoon Bible Verse

The Lord is my strength and song, and he is become my salvation: he is my God, and I will prepare him an habitation; my father's God, and I will exalt him.

Exodus 15 is also known as the Song of Moses. This passage of Scripture encourages us to rely on God's strength. Although our strength may fail, God's strength never will. Whether we have big or small problems, God is our salvation from all of them. There are a couple of key points in this verse. First, Moses says, "He is my God." Moses makes it clear that he has decided to serve God; he was all in. Then Moses states, "I will prepare him an habitation," which means he will praise God. As followers of Jesus, we find the real meaning in life when we choose to worship our Creator.

Our culture worships sports figures, musicians, actors, and those who accumulate wealth. We often place them on a pedestal because they have accomplished feats that we haven't. Yet the only One who has ever or will ever be worthy of worship and praise is God. After everything Moses had been through, his praise was well-founded. Because God had rescued His people, and He had saved them from slavery, God was their salvation and worthy of their worship. God has rescued us from being eternally separated from Him. We can worship God today, for He alone is God.

Afternoon Prayer

Heavenly Father, you are the God of Moses and you are my God. I praise you and love you with all of my being. You have provided salvation and given me the strength to live for you. Please lift my burdens and help me to trust you with everything, always. In Jesus' name, amen.

The Psalm also instructs us to serve the Lord "with gladness." Serving God and others demonstrates humility. Whether it's helping someone in need, giving financially, or using our talents and time to bless others, it is a form of gratitude.

Obedience and living a holy life flow out of a heart that is full of thankfulness. We should be grateful for God's love, mercy, grace, and salvation. Instead of pursuing our own pleasures and desires, we can worship God in all we say, think, and do. When our attitude is focused on honoring God, almost anything can be an act of thanksgiving and praise. God's Spirit can enable us to live in a way that exalts Jesus as we allow Him to direct our thoughts and actions.

Yesterday Afternoon's Prayer

God, I praise your name. What a privilege it is to come before you and thank you for all you have done. If there are things in my life that keep me from serving you with gladness, please make me aware of them. Let every action and word that I speak demonstrate sincere gratitude from my heart. In Jesus' name, amen.
