Just GO FORWARD!!

I'm on the road, so don't have a lot of time to write at the moment, but wanted to share something inspiring a friend shared recently:

(In context of the Red Sea crossing): "Often the Christian life is beset by dangers, and duty seems hard to perform. The imagination pictures impending ruin before and bondage or death behind. Yet the voice of God speaks clearly, 'Go forward.' We should obey this command, even though our eyes cannot penetrate the darkness, and we feel the cold waves about our feet. The obstacles that hinder our progress will never disappear before a halting, doubting spirit. Those who defer obedience till every shadow of uncertainty disappears and there remains no risk of failure or defeat will never obey at all. Unbelief whispers, 'Let us wait till the obstructions are removed, and we can see our way clearly'; but faith courageously urges an advance, hoping all things, believing all things." Patriarchs and Prophets, p. 289, 290

"Putting our trust in God, we are to move steadily forward, doing His work with unselfishness, in humble dependence upon Him, committing to His providence ourselves and all that concerns our present and future, holding the beginning of our confidence firm unto the end, remembering that we receive the blessings of heaven, not because of our worthiness, but because of Christ’s worthiness and our acceptance, through faith in Him, of God’s abounding grace." Amazing Grace, p. 38

And so I close with this verse…

"And the LORD said unto Moses, Wherefore criest thou unto me? speak unto the children of Israel, that they go forward." Ex. 14:15

Review

• Bible Thought: Go Forward, don't wait for obstacles to move, just go forward in faith!
• Blessing: So thankful for all the ways God has led this past week! I'm exhausted and headed home.
• Battles: To keep going forward, even when I have to go by faith. Thankfully, I do no walk forward alone.
