“Then the Lord said to Moses, ‘Has my arm lost its power? Now you will see whether or not my word comes true!'” (Numbers 11:23 NLT).
When Moses expressed doubt that God could keep them in meat for a month, God gave him a stern reply, “Has my arm lost its power?” Moses probably would have kept his doubts to himself, if God would have offered to make a meat delivery without asking him to announce it. But God wanted Moses to tell those grumbling Israelites that meat for a month was on the way.
Having to stand up in front of those growling stomachs and promise that God would provide was overwhelming to Moses.
It’s one thing to believe God’s Word and trust in His power for yourself. But when you have to stand up in front of a bunch of doubters and declare your faith… Well, that connects your credibility to God’s! And God still does this. He still asks His people to proclaim His promises and to believe that His “arm” is as powerful as ever.
The question is not whether God still does miracles. The question is who will trust God enough, so that they are willing to stand up and proclaim it!
PRAYER: Dear Lord, You are our provision and Provider. You have made us and You sustain us. Without You we are nothing. Forgive us when we doubt Your care and provision. We will announce Your faithfulness to the nations! Thank You for all things. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
