He is the God who parts the waters. (Exodus 14)
He is the God who promises us rest in green pastures. (Psalm 23)
He is the God who gives us peace beside quiet streams.
He is the God who restores, renews, and redeems.
He is the God of manna in the morning and fire by night. (Exodus 16, 13)
He is the God who can make a road in the wilderness, and He is the God who can make a river in the desert. (Isaiah 43)
Like the Israelites in Jericho, we can't stop marching on our sixth time around our fortified situation. He is the God who can and will command the walls to fall.
We have to keep moving and keep declaring in faith.
We can’t be frustrated that we only have a few fish and a little bit of bread.
He is the God of miracles who can multiply it.
We have to keep believing and waiting on Him who is able.
We can’t stop walking as we are crossing through the raging waters.
Step by step, we must keep moving through this in faith.
He is the God who split the sea to show us our salvation.
We can’t complain about only having a few stones when facing our Goliath.
More than any weapon of warfare He could provide, we have HIM on our side.
He is not only with us, He has created a path for us.
Not only has He created a path for us, He’s also our shield and our shalom.
We can stop and stack stones once we reach the other side, but right now, we are still in it. (Joshua 4)
We are called to continue, in faith, to fight in this battle.
We are crossing through the waters.
We are marching around the seemingly impossible situation.
We serve a God who doesn’t know the concept of impossible because nothing is impossible for Him. He has made a way for us, time and time again.
No matter what it is we are facing right now, nothing is too hard for our God.
He is with us. He is for us. What could really stand against us?
There is no divide and there is no disease greater than our God.
There is no Jericho and there is no giant greater than our God.
There is no situation or circumstance greater than our God.
There is no battle that is bigger or greater than our God.
We can rest in faith today.
What is it we may need to surrender to Him today, so to rest in faith?
He is here and He is our shalom.
PRAYER:
Thank you, Father, that I can trust You. Thank You that You are for me and that You have made a way for me in and through Jesus. There is no lack in You. You are my shepherd; I shall not want or need. You are more than able. There is nothing more powerful than You, and there is nothing too hard for You. Nothing is impossible for You. I submit my life, my hurts, my fears, my situation, my circumstance, my wall, my war. Whatever it is I face today, I forsake all fear to embrace faith in You, knowing that I’m calling upon Your great Name. All authority is under Your command. No trial, no temptation, no sickness, no suffering is too great for You. Give me eyes to clearly see You in the midst of this very moment that I may be facing. Give me eyes to clearly see, in faith, how You are moving on behalf of me, my family, or my friends in this very moment. From the kindness and love of Your heart and from the goodness of Your hand, You are always making a way, Father!
