TOPIC: If He asks you to turn back
TEXT: Exodus:14.1Then the LORD said to Moses, 2"Tell the Israelites to turn back and encamp near Pi Hahiroth, between Migdol and the sea. They are to encamp by the sea, directly opposite Baal Zephon.
MESSAGE
Moses, as well as, the children of Israelites would have been baffled when instead of God giving them directions on way forward, God asked them to turn back....
*Tell the Israelites to turn back...*
This situation sometimes occurs in a believer's life also where God will give them directions backward rather than forward and most miss at that point. They say to themselves and God, why should I take a step back when there is a way forward? God, there is a way forward, why should I go backward?
Christians need to realize and understand the fact that the God's foolishness is wiser than men (1 Cor 1:25). If He gives you a direction which doesn't align with what you had thought, He wants to showcase His glory just in the case of thee Israelites (Exodus 14). Also, note that there are designated places where your miracle and upliftment has been assigned to wait for you. Don't miss them.
God's demand is total Obedience! (Read Mathew 6)
PRAYER POINT: I pray for the Spirit of obedience so as to follow you even when the direction seems foolish. Amen
