Happy Sunday, people of God! Eish weekends are in full swing, it's hard to keep consistent with everything. I realised though I want to do more than what is possible and that discourages me. So, I guess I'm learning it's better to do what you can and be consistent than do more every once in a while!
2 Corinthians 2:14 KJV: "Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest ethe savour of His knowledge by us in every place." When you are not seeing the victory yet, do not panic beloved. That is not how your story will end, God is holding on for the right time.
When God brought the Israelites out of slavery, they headed toward the Promised Land, that the Pharaoh who had just let them go changed his mind and decided he wanted them back. So, he sends 600 of his fastest chariots, some of his strongest warriors to try to recapture them.
The Israelites, these two million people were at a dead end at the Red Sea, they had nowhere to go. It looked like they would be recaptured, until Moses held up his rod and the waters parted, the Israelites went through on dry ground. When Pharaoh's men came chasing, the waters closed up and they all were drowned.
Psalm 114:3 NLT gives us a good insight into what happened. "The Red Sea saw the Israelites coming and hurried out of their way." When it's your time, don't worry, enemies are going to hurry out of your way.
That addiction, that depression, the anxiety, or whatever you are facing that is a challenge for your life, it isn't long-lasting, rushing out of your way is about. It's going to happen quickly, you didn't see any sign of things changing, nothing looked any different, then suddenly the waters' part, unexpectedly your wellbeing pivots, unexpectedly the entryway opens. God knows how to take things that looks permanently closed and quickly changes them. #Godwillshowup #staywithGod #havefaith #graceupongrace #thegoodnessofGod
