WHEN FAITH IS ALL YOU HAVE

Do you look back and wonder if things would have turned out better for you?

When you look around and the storm of life is violently against you, and against your plans or desires; do you wish you never took that step that has brought you where you are now?

Many Christians keep looking back and wishing they did this or didn't do that. Spending energy on the past is going to do you no good.

The antidote is to train your focus and deal with the 'now moment'.

COMPLAING WON'T TAKE YOU ANYWHERE

From the Exodus story, Moses said this to the Israelites. Don’t be afraid! Don’t run away! Stand where you are and watch the LORD save you today. You will not have to do anything but stay calm. The LORD will do the fighting for you."
Exodus 14:13‭-‬14 ERV

There comes a time when you don't have to fight that which is beating you down. But rather you turn it to God.

The idea here is to focus on the Lord, cast out the unbelief and doubt, and raise your Faith higher in God.

God never fails. He will fight for you. Look up to Him for directions, and you shall rejoice in the end.

In the passage, God asked Moses: "Why are you still crying to me?" Not because he shouldn't cry to God; but rather because he had the solution at hand. He had cried enough and God was on the move. He only needed to trust God for his next move.

Then God told Moses to instruct the Israelites to start moving. Before God parted the sea and made therein a dry road, the people had to start moving.

Stop complaining and start moving.

The only way faith works is when we move. Moving forward in faith.

When the storm violently beats around you, don't complain. Look within and look to God for an answer. Don't look back. Move forward. Keep your faith firm such that your trust is anchored deeply in God.

Be assured that God shall fight for you.

Behold, I am doing a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it? I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert.

Isaiah 43:19 ESV
