Daily Bible Plan - Day 40

23 March 2025

This bible plan was created by Nicky and Pippa Gumbal.

Prayer of the Day:

Lord, thank You for showing us the beauty of Your wisdom and the power of Your will. Help me to choose Your way over my own and to trust in Your guidance, even when the path seems unclear. When I feel inadequate or afraid, remind me of Your presence and Your promises. Give me the courage to walk in faith and to follow Your call, no matter the challenges. Amen.

God’s Way, Not My Way

In life, we are often tempted to choose our own way, relying on our strength, wisdom, or understanding. But God calls us to surrender our plans and trust His. While the way of the world says, “I’ll do it my way,” Jesus shows us a better way: “Yet not as I will, but as You will” (Matthew 26:39).

Moses struggled to accept God’s call, offering excuse after excuse. Yet, when he chose God’s way, he discovered God’s faithfulness and power, even in the face of great challenges.

Biblical Foundations & Key Messages

Choosing the Way of Wisdom (Proverbs 4:10–19)

The book of Proverbs presents two paths: the way of wisdom and the way of wickedness. God promises to guide us along the “path of the righteous,” which grows brighter and clearer as we follow Him (v.18). The journey may not be easy, but it is filled with joy and purpose.

💡 Application: Seek God’s wisdom in your decisions today. Trust that His way leads to life and clarity, even when the world’s path seems easier.

Jesus’ Prayer of Surrender (Matthew 26:31–46)

In the Garden of Gethsemane, Jesus faced deep sorrow and anguish as He prepared for the cross. Yet, He surrendered fully to God’s will, praying, “Not my will, but Yours.” His obedience brought redemption to the world.

💡 Application: When you face trials or feel overwhelmed, remember Jesus’ example. Surrender your fears and plans to God, trusting in His greater purpose and love.

God’s Call to Moses (Exodus 4:1–6:12)

When God called Moses to lead His people out of Egypt, Moses felt unqualified and overwhelmed. He offered five excuses, but God patiently reassured him, promising His presence and power. Despite opposition and setbacks, Moses eventually trusted God’s way and saw His faithfulness.

💡 Application: Like Moses, you may feel inadequate or reluctant to follow God’s call. Remember that God is with you, equipping you for every challenge. Trust His sufficiency, not your own abilities.

Overall Takeaway ✔

1. Follow God’s Wisdom: Choose the way of wisdom, trusting that God’s path leads to life and clarity.

2. Surrender to God’s Will: Like Jesus, pray for God’s will to be done in your life, even when it’s difficult.

3. Trust God’s Presence: As with Moses, God’s presence is sufficient for every challenge you face.
