King David was living in a palace. God’s “dwelling place” was a tent. There was something that was not quite right with that picture. David decided to build a great temple for God, but God said, “No.” He directed David to give the building assignment to his son, Solomon. Today’s passage takes place on the day that Solomon dedicated this great temple.
It was difficult for her to grasp, much less believe. When you are well along in years and have no children, it is surprising for God to show up and promise you a son. So, when the woman who heard from God shared the news with her husband, he needed more proof. God revealed himself to Manoah in the form of an angel.
God wants you to experience peace. A deep, settled peace. An unexplainable peace. A continual peace that is experienced every day. A peace that is felt all the way to heaven. That peace can only be delivered by Yahweh Shalom. Let me set the context for today’s passage.
We all need a place of refuge. Life hits us hard and uproots what we thought was secure. Our strength is broken down. If we are fortunate, we huddle with others, but even then, no person can save us from the storm. Only One can.
Are you exhausted from the battle? Need some rest? Refuge? Protection? Shelter from a storm that is pelting you with anxiety and fear? Time to find “The Rock.”

Have you ever watched one of those movies set in BC times when two armies line up to do battle? They charge each other and engage in hand-to-hand combat. And I don’t know about you, but I often have a hard time figuring out who is who. Are the good guys winning or the bad guys winning?
We live in a broken world in need of healing. Sometimes restoration is necessary between two people whose friendship has been damaged, or from a dating relationship where infatuation turned to disillusionment turned to rejection, or a husband and wife whose relationship has fallen on hard times. Sometimes, we need emotional healing when a hurt drives us to discouragement, even despair. Today, let me introduce you to Yahweh Rapha.
Israel was trapped. In front of them was a body of water, and behind them was the army of Egypt. Anxiety overtook their hearts. But God intervened. He divided the sea, allowing the Israelites to cross on dry ground. Then, he closed the sea on the Egyptian army. The Israelites experienced an awesome miracle. Moses wrote a song to commemorate God’s power and goodness, and the Israelites sang it to the Lord.
Have you ever had an assignment from God that you were not crazy about…one you didn’t want to do? That’s what happened to Moses.
Sometimes, things we have done in the past come back to haunt us. That’s what happened to Jacob. Years earlier, Jacob had stolen his brother’s birthright and their father’s blessing. Now it was time for an accounting. Esau, Jacob’s twin brother, was coming to meet him.
