THE UPPER ROOM 17 SEPTEMBER 2022 DAILY DEVOTIONAL
Topic: Through My Parents’ Eyes
Brian Foster (North Carolina, USA)
TODAY’S READING
Exodus 4:10-17
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
I will embrace the special gifts God has given me.
The Lord said to [Moses], “Now go; I will help you speak and will teach you what to say.” – Exodus 4:12 (NIV)
Both my mom and my dad were deaf most of their lives. Neither was born deaf; they lost their hearing as children because of illness. While both had a disability, they overcame many challenges and obstacles to become happy and loving people. They approached life head-on and never let their deafness stand in their way.
While Mom and Dad lacked the ability to hear, they had an extremely strong sense of sight and observation. They could walk into a room, walk back out, and then tell you about the room in vivid detail. When they met someone, they could read the person’s facial expressions, gestures, and non-verbal cues and make accurate statements about that person’s disposition or mindset without ever hearing them speak.
God knows and provides what we need. Moses was not a great speaker, but God gave him what he needed to be a leader.
I often think of my parents when I am feeling inadequate or unqualified. What they lacked in hearing, God made up for in other ways. Even in the face of immense challenges, God will provide a way for us.
TODAY’S PRAYER
Heavenly Father, thank you for your gift of grace. You have made each of us unique and will provide us with all that we need when we seek your will for our lives. Amen.
