Good Morning!
There are seasons when you feel stuck caught between where you’ve been and where you long to go. You pray, you push, you plan, yet nothing seems to move. Israel knew this feeling well. After crying out for deliverance, they finally stepped into freedom under Moses’ leadership. But the moment they reached their first obstacle—the Red Sea—they panicked. Fear made slavery look safer than uncertainty. The familiar, even when painful, can feel easier than trusting God with the unknown.
We often repeat their pattern. We ask God for change, but when the “new thing” requires faith, patience, or surrender, we reach back for old habits, old thinking, or old comfort zones. Yet God never calls us forward without preparing the way. The same God who parted the Red Sea is the God who goes before you today.
Scripture reminds us, “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding” (Proverbs 3:5–6). Jesus echoes this invitation when He says, “My yoke is easy and my burden is light” (Matthew 11:28–30). When you release control, you make room for God to move. When you stop rehearsing the past, you can finally perceive the new thing He is birthing in your life.
Today, choose forward. Choose faith over fear. Choose surrender over striving. Let God order your steps, calm your spirit, and lead you into the new thing He has already prepared. The past cannot hold you unless you hold onto it. Lift your eyes, loosen your grip, and trust the God who specializes in making a way where there is no way.
Allow God to do a new thing in you now.
