Tues Devo: Move first


Exodus 14:15-16 “Then the Lord said to Moses, “Why are you crying out to Me? Tell the sons of Israel to go forward. As for you, lift up your staff and stretch out your hand over the sea and divide it, and the sons of Israel shall go through the midst of the sea on dry land.” (NASB)

Hello,

It seems I have been in a number of “circular” conversations lately. Debates go on about doing part A first, or waiting until B is ready to do A. Once you get that figured out, you confuse each other and start debating whether A may actually be B and vice versa. Being generally over-analytical by nature this is not good for me! I tend to make one of two decisions: 1) be patient and figure out A and B with a 99% certainty or 2) get frustrated and do C without any thought. Neither of those seem to land terrific results!

Since neither is really a great option, how about this – just move forward! Part of our life of faith in Christ is that He is taking care of things. If we are sitting and waiting to see all the steps He has for to be laid out in HD, we will never move from our spot of sitting. This struck me in the directions God gave to Moses – tell them to go forward. He did not have Moses raise the staff first and then completely part the waters, and then have them start to cross – they were to start moving forward in faith of God handling the rest.

Still sitting there? Move forward!!!! 

Have a blessed day,
