Exodus 16:12
I have heard the grumbling of the people of Israel. Say to them, ‘At twilight you shall eat meat, and in the morning you shall be filled with bread. Then you shall know that I am the Lord your God.’

God’s people were in the middle of the wilderness. Yet even though God had already provided for their needs, they wanted more. Instead of humbly asking God to provide what they needed, they grumbled and complained about what He didn’t give them. It’s a good reminder to choose gratefulness today for all God’s given us.

Acts 2:4
And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit gave them utterance.

Before Jesus ascended into heaven, He told His disciples to share the Good News with those in Jerusalem, but He instructed them to wait until the Holy Spirit came upon them. God didn’t want them working in their own power and strength when they shared that news, He wanted to equip them with His power and strength. And that’s exactly what He did!

Ephesians 3:19
…and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.

In a few weeks, during Thanksgiving, you’ll probably be filled with lots of turkey, mashed potatoes, green bean casserole, and of course, pie! Well, God wants you to be filled as well, but not simply with food. He desires that you not just know about His love, but that you experience His love on a continuous basis. So much so that you’re filled with it!

Romans 12:2
Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.

If you’ve ever been caving, then you’ve seen those pointy formations hanging from the ceiling called stalactites. They’re formed over time as water carries minerals into the cave and slowly deposits them, drop by drop. And that’s a little like what the world is trying to do to us. It’s constantly trying to shape the way we think and conform us to its ways. But God wants something different. He wants to renew our minds with His truth so that, over time, our thoughts begin to shape the way we live.

2 Corinthians 5:17
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.

Butterflies and frogs are some of the only creatures that go through a true transformational process. They start out one way, and through a very unique process, become something very different. When you become a Christian, something even more amazing happens. God doesn’t just make a few improvements to your old life; He changes you from the inside out until you become a new creation.

Galatians 2:20
I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.

When Jesus died on the cross, He took the place we deserved. His life for ours. It’s like standing in a courtroom, knowing you’re guilty and the sentence is death and then Jesus steps forward and takes the punishment for you. And now, instead of living under condemnation, you can live by faith in the One who loved you enough to lay down His life for you.

Ephesians 4:23-24
And to be renewed in the spirit of your minds, and to put on the new self, created after the likeness of God in true righteousness and holiness.

How many times a day are you bombarded with thoughts that aren’t true? It’s hopeless. God doesn’t care. This situation will never change. Those thoughts may feel true in the moment, but that doesn’t mean they are. God wants to take those discouraging thoughts and change them into encouraging ones like: My hope is in You, God loves you, with God all things are possible.

Colossians 3:9-10
Do not lie to one another, seeing that you have put off the old self with its practices and have put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge after the image of its creator.

There’s nothing like a good transformation story. Somebody goes to prison for terrible crimes, then gives their life to Christ, and comes out a completely different person. But that kind of change doesn’t happen overnight. God changes us over time as we spend time in His Word, spend time in prayer, and allow Him to work in our hearts. Step by step He makes us more like Him.

Zechariah 2:8
For thus says the LORD of Armies: ‘For honor he has sent me to the nations which plundered you; for he who touches you touches the apple of his eye.

The Israelites were not very good at being faithful to God. They turned away from Him time and time again. And yet God was very good at being faithful to His people because He always keeps His promises. He affectionately called them the apple of His eye, not because they were perfect, but because they belonged to Him.

Proverbs 7:2
Keep my commandments and live! Guard my teaching as the apple of your eye.

If someone stood in front of you and looked deep into your eyes, they’d see a tiny reflection of themselves looking back. Which would make them the apple of your eye or something precious to watch over. And Solomon knew that for us to live the life God intended, we couldn’t simply glance at His Word. We’d need to treasure it as the apple of our eye.

Lamentations 2:18
Their heart cried to the Lord: wall of the daughter of Zion, let tears run down like a river day and night; Give yourself no respite; don’t let the apple of your eye cease.

Israel was facing a very difficult moment. The prophets had warned Israel that if they refused to turn back to the LORD, judgment would come, and eventually they would be taken captive. And sadly, that’s exactly what happened. However, in the midst of their grief, they turned to the One who was still their only hope.

Deuteronomy 32:10
He found him in a desert land, in the waste howling wilderness. He surrounded him. He cared for him. He kept him as the apple of his eye.

Just before the Israelites were going to enter the Promised Land, Moses decided to share something with them in order that they would not forget all that God had done. He taught them a song. A song that would remind them of God’s faithfulness, from the time He brought them out of Egypt to the way He cared for them through those 40 years in the wilderness.
