Are There Challenges Ahead? Move On

By: JUDAH OLATUNDE

Exodus  14:14 The LORD shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace.
14:15 And the LORD said unto Moses, Wherefore criest thou unto me? speak unto the children of Israel, that they go forward.

It is generally noticed that people fail due to the fear of the unknown. Certain fainting would never have occurred if people never saw what is going to happen.

After Moses spoke to the people to watch and see what the Lord would do, he himself cried unto God. This case is true for many people today. Many are crying for the course they know not. Many are troubled by overwhelming situations. The children of Israel didn't faint because they were already standing before the red sea even though their heart already melted away in fear of death.

One of the reason why the Lord didn't tell the children of Israel they would go through the red sea on time was because He didn't want them to faint before they began the journey. And He didn't want them to remain in Egypt.

The Lord does this same thing for every one of us, He tells us what good we should expect, He gives us great and precious promises but He never shows us the process or challenges we may have to go through in the realization of those promises.

He did not show us because He didn't want our heart to fail or faint before the journey. If God had informed the children of Israel while they were still in Egypt that, they would go through the red sea, they would never have agreed to live the land of Egypt. Not even Moses whom God speaks to 'face to face' was told about the red sea before they left Egypt.

The presence of the obstacles does not proof the absence of the Lord. Unlike many believers and unbelievers, when they see someone going through certain unpleasant situations, they conclude that God is not with that person but that's completely wrong.

God may choose to reveal certain storms or obstacles to you before they come but He does not always do that.

*Insights For Today: Don't think the Lord is not with you when you're on a journey and suddenly you encounter an obstacle. The obstacles you encounter in life should never stop you from moving on in life.*

*Prayer: Father, I thank you because you're still with me no matter what I go through in life, thank you for your life and care for me and I thank you for you will make a way for me in Jesus name. Keep walking by faith*
