Don't Be Afraid And (Whatever You Do) Don't Give Up!


 

It is easy to think that this is just another blog in the pool of many. But to someone reading these words are a moment to breathe in life!

God is with you and understands that this is not an easy path right now. He knows that your situation appears quite ominous.

I am reminded of the children of Israel being instructed to pass over the Jordan river while walls of water stood up on either side of them. It is strange how your most miraculous moment can also be the most intimidating. Here they were with Pharoah’s army pursuing from behind and completely unknown territory ahead, and only one way to go. God made it clear that the parting of the waters was His intended path for them, it was the only way provided, and He did it in such a miraculous fashion to leave no question as to if it was the right way! So there they were walking across the Jordan river on dry land, yet there were walls of water standing up over them that could have come down and swallowed them up at any time.

Child of God do not let the fact that you are being pursued from behind, intimated on each side, and facing a questionable future let you miss the fact that you are living a miracle!!!!!! Your right now miracle means you have to trust Him like never before! You have to know that He loves you and that if He led you this way, He would surely not bring you to the crossing only to turn on you and trick you into calamity! God is true. His integrity is undisputed, He will watch over His word to perform it. Many of us are right where the children of Israel were seeing the only way made before us, while being pursued from behind and not knowing what is ahead. We recognize the miraculous but the peril of our situation remains. Can you imagine what would have happened if instead of crossing over they decided that they were too afraid and just threw up their hands and gave up!

You must not be afraid! You must not be afraid! You must not be afraid!

Your life is transitioning to what it has never been before! You imagined it differently but your path was altered and you have no frame of reference for the land to which you are being led. Giving up is not an option! You must see that amidst the pain and discomfort the hand of God has opened up a way. And you must cross over this place to the other side. You do not know what is waiting for you, you are questioning if your making the right decision, or if this is the right move. But God has made it so that it is the only way! Embrace it, this is your miracle! It may not look like you wanted your miracle to look, it may include be chased, talked about, uprooted, and relocated, but it is God! So Don’t be afraid and whatever you do, Don’t give up!
