Keep Moving

 

Good Morning!

When we face trials, it becomes far too easy to shift our eyes away from God and toward the weight of our circumstances. We may speak faith with our mouths, yet quietly wonder in our hearts whether God will truly fight for us. 

Fear whispers. Doubt creeps in. And before we know it, we are tempted to take control, fix everything ourselves, and carry burdens we were never meant to lift.

 

But God has never asked us to fight alone. He has never expected us to win battles in our own strength. His promise has always been the same: I am with you.

 

In 2 Chronicles 20, Jehoshaphat and the people of Judah were overwhelmed by the threat of a massive army. They had no strategy, no strength, and no guarantee of survival. Yet God spoke a word that shifted everything: “Do not be afraid or discouraged… the battle is not yours, but God’s.” Their victory did not come from their ability, it came from their obedience, their worship, and their willingness to move forward even when they didn’t see the outcome.

 

The same is true for us. Courage is not the absence of fear; it is the decision to keep moving. Faith is not pretending everything is fine; it is trusting that God is already working behind the scenes. Victory comes when we refuse to look back, refuse to retreat, and refuse to let fear dictate our steps.

 

Be assured today: God is by your side. He will not forsake you. He will fight for you. His plan is attainable, but we must take the steps. Keep moving. Keep trusting. Keep believing. The victory is already His, and because you belong to Him, it is already yours.

There are benefits in prayer

All too often we claim to believe in God and the power of prayer. Yet, No sooner than we finish praying our minds divert back to believing we can solve our problems or we doubt If God can fix the problem. Daily prayer is essential.

1. PRAYER develops a relationship with God 

2. PRAYER helps you gain understanding 

3. PRAYER helps you find direction in life

4. PRAYER aligns you with God’s will

There are benefits in prayer. Take time to pray and give thanks daily. 

Every journey is not smooth

Blessings are often missed because we select our plans opposed to God’s plan. When our clarion prayers are answered we second guess God’s response. No matter how tough the journey learn to trust God and walk in faith. For every hard task rejected because  we believe it will cost pain or struggle it has a sweet in it. By not doing it, we miss the blessing from God. For every heavy load we are asked to carry, God will provide the needed strength and guidance. Seek God in everything thing. Pray. Study the word. Allow God to order your steps (Ps 119:133-136) and his word to be a lamp under your feet, and a light unto my path (Ps. 119:105).  Be encouraged. 

Deeply-rooted problems can be removed

 We all have experienced deeply-rooted problems we’ve thought were impossible to resolve. We questioned our abilities and doubted God. The disciples were no different they too encountered situations where their faith wavered. Matthew 17:14-20, displays the disciples lack of faith to cast out a demon (v.16). Faith can be a struggle. When we wallow in unbelief it blinds us from comprehending how God says our mustard seed faith can move a mulberry tree (Luke 17:5-6). To uproot a mulberry tree is impossible. Yet God says your mustard seed faith is enough to solve any hardship. When facing what appears to be the impossible and your faith is wavering, recite this three-word prayer the disciples used when they faced the impossible, “increase our faith!” As You continue to pray and walk in faith, the potential to overcome great obstacles in life increases. Have faith. Trust in the Lord.
