Monday,
July 18: Moses was called by God to lead the
Israelites out of captivity from Egypt. God appeared
to him in the form of a burning bush and although
Moses was afraid, he realized he could not turn down
God's call to action. [Exodus 3:1 - 4:17]

Tuesday,
July 19: David, a teenage shepherd boy, was called
by God to serve in the Israeli army. He encountered
a warrior named Goliath that stood at a towering 9
feet 9 inches. With a sling, a stone and the glory
of God, David defeated Goliath. [1 Samuel 16-18]

Wednesday, July 20: Jonah spent 3 days and 3 nights
inside the belly of a fish because he did not answer
the calling of God. He was told to go to Nineveh and
teach against its sin. Instead, Jonah tried to hide
from God and learned that God wants obedience and
mercy. [Jonah 1-4]

Thursday, July 21: Jesus
Christ walked this earth to teach and save the lost
but some people did not like that. Thinking they
could not end his teaching, they had Jesus killed;
but God had other plans. Jesus defeated death and
fulfilled the prophesy. We now can be saved from our
sins because of God's gift of salvation. [
