Day 28 Reading: Exodus 6-7, Matthew 19:1-12, Psalm 23 and Proverb 5:22-23 
Sometimes sadness, despair, and discouragement seem so heavy and dark that we can’t even hear the pin-prick light of possibility. Hope is painfully and thoroughly dead. Change seems impossible; the chains are too strong. Nevertheless, neither the people’s lack of faith, Moses’ doubt, nor Pharaoh’s hard heart were able to prevent God’s “mighty hand” from bringing more than a million people out of slavery. That’s our God!
"Moses spoke thus to the people of Israel, but they did not listen to Moses, because of their broken spirit and harsh slavery." – Exodus 6:9 (English Standard Version)
"Dear Lord, some days I admit I feel overwhelmed. Doubt and depression often move in on hope and health. Help me tune out Satan’s negativity, and tune in the positive messages from your Word. In Jesus’ name, Amen."
