Keep Moving....

I seem to be spending a lot of time looking at my computer for answers lately J Waiting for answers, or checking the status on decisions made……..or checking the news. I wish I could tell you more news…..but there isn’t much to say. So instead of getting any news…..check out what was in a devotion I read on Friday…..

Move On! byOs Hillman

..."Why are you crying out to Me? Tell the Israelites to move on." - Exodus 14:15

They finally arrived at the Red Sea, and the people were wondering where they would go from there. News hit the camp: Pharaoh had changed his mind. He was coming after them with his army. Panic set in. The defenseless Israelites cried out, "Was it because there were no graves in Egypt that you brought us to the desert to die?...It would have been better for us to serve the Egyptians than to die in the desert!" (Ex. 14:11b-12)

God sometimes brings each of us to a "Red Sea" in our life. It may be a work problem that can't be solved. It may be a marriage that seems to be failing. It may be a debilitating disease. Whatever your Red Sea, God tells us one thing: "Keep moving." The Red Sea was before them, yet God was angered at Moses and told him to "Keep moving."

"But Lord, the Red Sea is before me." "Keep moving." When we live by sight, we act on what we see. God sets this stage in dramatic fashion. God is into the dramatic. There is no way out without God here. That is just the way He wants it. No one will get glory except God.

WOW!! Can I just say……this is us right now. We have this devastation and seems like this impossible task of getting the kids home. Who knows where our adoption paperwork is………gov’t is collapse in Haiti………supplies are running out………I have to say that God is going to have to make all the plans at this point. For decisions to be made. And stuff to be processes ASAP if that is decided, and things to happen NOW…..it is only because God is STILL in control. And He will work out ALL the details and have ALL the necessary connections.
