Obedience Brings Victory of Faith

Bible readings today: Exodus 14:15-31

Obedience to God's leadership does not always lead to a smooth life but to live a victorious faith.

On entering the New Year, generally we are in a state of regret for past, as well as concerns over its future. That state of Moses when he led the Israels out of Egypt recorded in Exodus 14. After more than 430 years the Israels lived as slaves in Egypt, God raised Moses to lead them into a new phase. However, after leaving Egypt, they arrived at a dead end: in front of the sea and behind the army of Pharaoh. Advanced means of suicide, retreat means giving yourself massacred by swords and arrows of the mighty Egyptian army. The situation was made Moses facing 2.5 million people who think with the mindset of 'regret the past' and 'fears future' (14:11-12). Why did Moses and the Israels that led to a situation full of struggles like this? Is it because Moses did not obey? Of course not! That devotion to the Lord who brought them in a situation like that.

Devout life does not necessarily free us from the problems of life. However, after reading the Bible today we finished reading, it is clear that the end of the obedience of Moses is a victory of extraordinary faith. The people of Israel not only freed from the threat of enemy soldiers, but their inclusion feels His power is magical. Therefore, no need to regret the days that had passed on years ago and did not have to worry about the days in this new year. Commit to life with full adherence to the leadership saith the Lord. Use reflections book echoes this stage V as a guide reading the Bible every day.

This is what the LORD says: "Maintain justice and do what is right, for my salvation is close at hand and my righteousness will soon be revealed.
