As the Pharisees continued interrogating the man Jesus had healed from blindness, his faith in what Jesus had done for him grew deeper. Eventually, the Pharisees, the ones who were supposed to bring the people to God, threw the man out of the synagogue. They were blind to the truth of who Jesus is. Take time to pray that God will open your heart to who He is today. For more information, visit lakepointe.church/dailydrive

As we continue looking at Joshua 5, we see that the people of Israel needed a time for healing. It was part of God’s purpose for Israel.

Where do you need healing and wholeness today? For more information, visit lakepointe.church/dailydrive

In Joshua 5, we see the people of Israel finally make it to the Promised Land after 40 days of wandering in the wilderness. The old generation who had been circumcised died, so before they could go any further, God commanded Joshua to circumcise the new generation. In a different way, God may be asking you to cut away something in your life so that you can move into what He has next for you. For more information, visit lakepointe.church/dailydrive

Guilt is a strange emotion to deal with. It can be a good thing when we realize we have sinned against a holy God and it draws us to Him. However, our enemy, Satan, can twist it and use it against us until it turns into shame. Guilt points out what we’ve done, while shame attacks who we are. But shame has an enemy: grace. Grace from our good God sets us free and reminds us who we really are. For more information, visit lakepointe.church/dailydrive

In John chapter 7, we are introduced to Jesus’ brothers. What do you think it was like to have the perfect Son of God as a brother? At that point, none of them believed He was the Messiah.

Jesus asked His disciples a question that we often come face-to-face with in our own lives: “Do you want to leave, too?” Just as the disciples may have been tempted to abandon Jesus in the hard times, things will happen in our lives that are painful and difficult. It is in those moments we have to remember, as Peter did, there is no one like Jesus. No one else offers us eternal life and unconditional love.
