FAITH CAPSULE: The way of God is the way of going up from where you are now.
Exodus 13
When God is taking man to the promise location He will put everything in place for man to get to the expected end. Has He brought you out of the house of bondage in an attempt to take you to the expected end?
In God’s journey expected end for man, challenges are not exempted. Man should endure the challenges of the giants along the way of journey to the expected end. Hebrews 10:36 buttressed endurance which is crucial to attain promise of journey, “For you have need of endurance, so that after you have done the will of God, you may receive the promise.” The will of God is to take man to the expected location. The will of God is in the way of God. An adage stated, “Where there is a will there is a way” The adage is true to everyone that the Lord calls to a journey of promise. For example, when God called Abraham to come out of his country, from his family and from his father’s house there was God’s will in place for Abraham. The will of God for Abraham was to make Abraham a great nation, great name and a blessing. (Genesis 12: 1-2) As a result of God’s will that was in place for Abraham, there was a way for Abraham to get to the promises of God. Truly, where there is a will for a child of God there will always be a way to get through to God’s will for the obedient ones. Abraham’s obedient caused him to arrive at God’s will for his life. God always place every of His children on the right track but the enemy is always at work to overthrow man. Abraham endured challenges. He experienced delay; he engaged war to deliver Lot; Abraham attempted the life of old age son (Isaac) for sacrifice. When God is taking man to a location of promise it is not a liberty to take step out of God’s way.
Are you stepping out of God’s way into you way?
Man should not take any way because any way will not lead one to God’s expected end. Abraham could not take out of God’s way. Moses, the leader of Israelites could not make the choice of wrong way. The bible recorded, “Then it came to pass, when Pharaoh had let the people go, that God did not lead them by way of the land of the Philistines, although that was near; for God said, “Lest perhaps the people change their minds when they see war, and return to Egypt.” So God led the people around by way of the wilderness of the Red Sea. And the children of Israel went up in orderly ranks out of the land of Egypt.” (Exodus 13:17-18) Let God take you through His way.
