One-minute read.
God chooses His servants with intention, equipping them to complete their mission. When the Lord built the Tabernacle in Exodus, He gave Moses specific architectural instructions, and then the Almighty provided skilled workers to make the moving temple.
We may not feel equipped to do the Lord’s work, but, as I like to remind myself, feelings lie. Taking steps of faith requires us to trust the Lord will provide the stepping stones. Imagine standing at the cliff’s edge and stepping into the open abyss; just as your foot lands, the path appears, and a firm foundation supports you, divine deliverance at the exact time we need it.
Unlike a travel agent who maps out every segment of our vacation in detail, the Lord doesn’t give us our itinerary in advance. Instead, God guides us one leg of our journey at a time, only giving us what we need for today. Sometimes, we may envision where the Lord wants us to go, but we don’t have the road map. When the Creator parted the Red Sea for Moses, He didn’t do it until His obedient servant stood at the water’s edge.
God gives you what you need when you need it. He promises to deliver you, and He will, on His timetable, not yours.
Prayer:
Lord,
Thank You for delivering us from our troubles in Your time and way. Please help us trust You more as we take steps of faith, not knowing what will happen next but trusting You for the victory.
IJNIP. Amen
