Daily Devo: Still Jesus-Moses/Jesus

Day 1
Opening prayer: Lord, open my eyes to see You more clearly through Your Word. Help me recognize that the story of Moses is really pointing me to Jesus, and teach me to trust Your saving power in every part of my life. Amen.

Scripture reading: Exodus 3:7-8; Hebrews 5:11-14

Daily topic: God sees, hears, and rescues. In Exodus, God tells Moses that He has seen the suffering of His people, heard their cries, and come down to rescue them. Hebrews reminds us that spiritual growth means moving beyond shallow faith and learning to truly know God. The first step in devotion is remembering that God is not distant; He is attentive and active.

Life application follow up exercise: Take five minutes today to write down one area of your life where you need God’s rescue, comfort, or direction. Then pray over that situation aloud and ask God to help you trust His care instead of trying to carry it alone.

Closing prayer: Father, thank You that You see me, hear me, and care about what I am walking through. Help me trust Your rescue and grow deeper in my faith today. Amen.

Day 2
Opening prayer: Lord Jesus, thank You for fulfilling everything the Scriptures promised. Help me see how the life and calling of Moses point forward to You, and help me follow You with a willing heart. Amen.

Scripture reading: Deuteronomy 18:17-18; John 5:46-47

Daily topic: Moses points to a greater prophet. God promised to raise up a prophet like Moses, and Jesus is the One who perfectly speaks God’s words and reveals God’s heart. The people of Israel looked for a deliverer, and in Jesus we see the ultimate fulfillment of that hope. Knowing Scripture is not just about gathering information; it is about recognizing Christ.

Life application follow up exercise: Read the two passages twice today. Afterward, write one sentence about what Moses teaches you about Jesus and one sentence about what Jesus teaches you about God. Keep those sentences somewhere visible as a reminder.
Closing prayer: Lord, thank You for speaking clearly through Your Son. Train my heart to listen, obey, and recognize Jesus as the fulfillment of Your promises. Amen.

Day 3
Opening prayer: God, thank You for Your mercy and for providing what I could never provide for myself. Lead me to rest in Your salvation and not in my own efforts. Amen.

Scripture reading: Exodus 12:5-7; 1 Peter 1:18-19

Daily topic: The spotless lamb and Jesus. The Passover lamb in Exodus protected God’s people from judgment, and Peter reminds us that we are redeemed by the precious blood of Christ, the spotless Lamb. Salvation has always been God’s provision, not human achievement. This day calls us to remember that deliverance comes through faith in what God supplies.

Life application follow up exercise: Think about one habit or attitude that keeps you trying to earn God’s favor. Confess it to God, and then thank Him that Jesus already paid the price for your redemption. Write a short prayer of gratitude and read it later in the day.

Closing prayer: Lord, thank You for the Lamb who takes away sin. Help me live today from gratitude, not guilt, and from grace, not striving. Amen.

Day 4
Opening prayer: Heavenly Father, when I look at my weakness and failure, remind me that You provide healing and hope. Lift my eyes to Jesus and teach me to trust Him fully. Amen.

Scripture reading: Numbers 21:7-9; John 3:14-15

Daily topic: Lifted up for healing. In the wilderness, God provided a bronze serpent so that the bitten Israelites could look and live. Jesus used that story to point to His own death on the cross, where He would be lifted up so that all who believe may have eternal life. God’s way of healing often begins with humble trust.

Life application follow up exercise: Identify one area where you have been looking for relief in the wrong places. Today, intentionally pause three times and pray, “Jesus, I look to You for healing and life.” Let that become your response whenever worry rises.
Closing prayer: Lord Jesus, I look to You. Thank You for the cross, for healing, and for eternal life. Teach me to turn quickly to You whenever I am hurting or afraid. Amen.

Day 5
Opening prayer: Father, do not let me settle for knowing about You without truly walking with You. Grow my devotion, deepen my understanding, and shape my life so that it reflects Jesus. Amen.

Scripture reading: Hebrews 5:11-14; Matthew 2:16; Exodus 1:15-16, 22

Daily topic: More than information, true devotion. Hebrews warns against remaining immature, and the connection between Pharaoh’s attack on Hebrew boys and Herod’s violence against Bethlehem shows how opposition to God’s saving plan has always been real. Yet God’s purposes cannot be stopped. The invitation for us is to move beyond religious habits and become people who truly know and follow Jesus.

Life application follow up exercise: Review the past four days and choose one truth that stood out most to you. Then write one specific action you will take this week to grow in devotion to Christ, such as reading Scripture daily, praying with more honesty, or sharing your faith with someone.

Closing prayer: Lord, thank You for revealing Yourself through Moses and for fulfilling Your promises in Jesus. Keep me from empty religion and lead me into a living, growing relationship with Christ. Amen.
