MY DAILY COVENANT WITH GOD DEVOTIONAL
Devotion for Friday September 25, 2020
Topic: Go Forward
Text: Exodus 14:15 – 20
When we are desperate, in need or fearful, God is always waiting
for us to ask for His solution. He is ever ready to hear us speak to Him. One
thing we must know about God is that He doesn’t force His will on us. He allows
us to demonstrate our faith.
Here, Moses' silent prayers of faith prevailed more with God than
Israel's loud outcries of fear. The pillar of cloud and fire came behind them,
where they needed a guard, and it was a wall between them and their enemies. We
should understand that it is our duty not merely to pray, but to act; and
unless we go forward in our duties and call, our prayers will not avail. God
helps those who do what He requires to help them. On Tuesday, we read how Moses
told them to stand still and expect orders from God: and now orders are given –
Go Forward.
This order from God is for you and I today. Many of us are stagnant
in our spiritual lives, refusing to make progress. Many are not willing to
improve on their relationship with God but He is saying, go forward. Are you
afraid to undertake that meaningful project? God is saying go forward! That
interview you are skeptical about should not intimidate you.
Go forward because it is only in going forward that you can make
progress. The Israelites moved forward and doors and gates were opened to them
in a place it was never possible. Doors and gates will open to you in places
that seem impossible today in Jesus name. Just go forward.
Food for Thought: The way to success, freedom and progress is to keep going forward
and not backward or sideways which are distractions.
Memory verse: Exodus 14 v 15
