Good morning champion and welcome to a whole new week where anything can happen.
Like a jukebox that gets stuck with a favourite record I too am still stuck in Hebrews 11 and the more I read it the more inspired and fired up I am about Faith in God. Let’s stay there a little longer together.
Hebrews 11: 29 (NIV)
By faith the people passed through the Red Sea as on dry land; but when the Egyptians tried to do so, they were drowned.
When we choose to daily live by faith we give God the opportunity to make a way forwards for us in times when we may seem stuck or that there is no way forward.
The children of Israel had left Egypt under the leadership of Moses, a man who certainly walked a faith walk with God. Their captors, the Egyptians, had changed their minds concerning the freedom they had recently given the Israelites and were coming hard behind them to recapture them to slavery. The Israelites came to the edge of the Red Sea. They could not go left or right nor could they go back. It looked like they had hit a dead end with no options.
But then, God responded to the faith of Moses and performed the impossible. Moses extended his rod over the ocean and the sea parted before them, giving them a new option and pathway to freedom. By Faith, “believing God,” they passed through the centre of an ocean parted in the middle by seemingly nothing because there was no physical evidence as to what was holding the water apart. And when the last Israelite had stepped out and the last Egyptian had stepped in, the waters closed liberating the children of God from their captors.
As the song says, “God will make a way where there seems to be no way, He works in ways I cannot see He will make a way for me”
When you walk by faith He will make a way for you too and when you feel you have reached a crisis point or a dead end, extend your faith in the promise of God and watch what happens.
Faith creates a route that often no man could have imagined.
