If any man’s work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire…” (I Cor. 3: 11-15).

Scripture Reading: Exodus 13:21-22, Psalms 104:3

‘By day the Lord went ahead of them in a pillar of cloud to guide them on their way and by night in a pillar of fire to give them light.

He took not away the pillar of the cloud by day, nor the pillar of fire by night, from before the people.’

Someone once said, ‘the faith to pray must include the faith to believe God can give even when our prayers are lacking.’ There are all sorts of things we pray all the time and we do not necessary believe them to come to past – but yet they are prayers that get answered.

Exodus 35:4-5
Philippians 4:17
2 Corinthians 9:6-8

In the three portions of scripture that we have just read:
Exodus 35:4-5 – giving for the Tabernacle (church building)
Philippians 4:17 – giving for missions
2 Corinthians 9:6-8 – the right attitude of giving: cheerful giving

Jesus is the Master story of our life. He knows the plot. He develops you through trials and triumphs. Even delays and detours are part of His chapter design.

Deuteronomy 7:9 which says, ‘Know therefore that the LORD your God, He is God, the faithful God, who keeps His covenant and His lovingkindness to a thousandth generation with those who love Him and keep His commandments.’

The glory of God is one of the most profound themes in the Bible: mysterious, powerful, and central to understanding God’s character and presence.

Exodus 33:14 says, ‘And he said, “My presence will go with you, and I will give you rest.”
