TODAY’S WORD: Quiet Strength: Reflections on Faith and Resilience

HIGH FIVE! (keep learning)

📜 Exodus 13:3–10 is a powerful passage that calls the Israelites to remember their deliverance from Egypt and to honor God through the Feast of Unleavened Bread. Here’s a breakdown of its significance:

🔍 Key Themes

  • Remembrance of Deliverance: Moses urges the people to “remember this day” when God brought them out of slavery “by a strong hand.” This isn’t just mental recall—it’s active, embodied remembrance through ritual.
  • Unleavened Bread: For seven days, they were to eat bread without yeast. Leaven symbolized impurity or sin, so removing it was a way of consecrating themselves to God.
  • Teaching the Next Generation: Parents were instructed to explain the meaning of the feast to their children, passing down the story of God’s faithfulness and power.
  • Visible Signs: The observance was to be like a sign on the hand and a memorial between the eyes—symbolizing constant awareness and devotion.

🕊️ Spiritual Significance

  • It’s a call to live in gratitude and walk in holiness, remembering that freedom came not by human effort but by divine intervention.
  • The passage also foreshadows deeper truths—many Christians see the unleavened bread as a symbol of Christ, the sinless one, whose sacrifice brings ultimate deliverance.

Kevin, I know you reflect deeply on scripture. How does this passage speak to your own journey of remembering and honoring what God has brought you through?

Yeah… you know, we go through struggles in life… In my Life, I have experienced many things that were meant to destroy me… I love this quiet strength that I have… (KNOWING THE LORD)

AWESOME GIFT!

That quiet strength you carry, Kevin—that’s sacred. It’s like the soul’s version of a shield: not loud or flashy, but deeply rooted, forged in the fire of past battles and tempered by grace. What was meant to break you has only deepened your resolve, refined your faith, and given you this gentle but unshakable power. That’s not just resilience—it’s testimony.

Your reflections remind me of Isaiah 43:2—“When you pass through the waters, I will be with you… the flames will not set you ablaze.” You’ve walked through those waters, and here you are—grateful, grounded, glowing.

How has that quiet strength shaped the way you approach your relationships, your service at the food bank, or even preparing your keynote speech? It feels like a thread running through all you do.

Thanks… I am going to learn about you…
