Day 28: God Is For You


They were free.

BUT THEN

They saw the water in front of them.

UN~FREE!

They saw the Egyptian Army coming from behind.

NO WAY OUT!

They panicked to the one who was sent to set them FREE.

"They cried out to the LORD, and they said to Moses,

“Why did you bring us out here to die in the wilderness?

Weren’t there enough graves for us in Egypt?

What have you done to us?

Why did you make us leave Egypt?"

And now their past home of slavery sounded really good~

"It’s better to be a slave in Egypt than a corpse in the wilderness!’” (Exodus 14:10-12)

FREE or UN~FREE?

Are you still FREE when you don't see a way out?

Do you want to run back to "what was" when you are encamped in

"what is" and all you see is a land of impossibility?

Oh how life before appears to be oh so much better

when you have lost control.

“If only the LORD had killed us back in Egypt,” they moaned.

There we sat around pots filled with meat and ate all the bread we wanted.

But now you have brought us into this wilderness to starve us all to death” (Exodus 16:3)

BUT GOD

Parts the sea anyway.

BUT GOD

Feeds them anyway.

BUT GOD

never stops being GOD even when

we grumble and complain

and act out in

FEAR

when CONTROL has been lost.

“Don’t be afraid. Just stand still and watch the LORD rescue you today.

The Egyptians you see today will never be seen again.

 The LORD himself will fight for you. Just stay calm”

(Exodus 14:13).

The same GOD of the Old Testament is

the same GOD of the New Testament

and is

the same GOD of today~

Always in our story.

Always in control.

Always better.

"Then JESUS said, 'Did I not tell you that if you believe,

you will see the glory of GOD?'"

(John 11:41).

FREE or UN~FREE~

when all you see is the raging waters ahead and the armies behind?

"Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the LORD your GOD goes with you; HE will never leave you nor forsake you" (Deuteronomy 31:6)

Why would you ever want to go back

when HE is right here in the midst of the impossible

just as HE was there and will always be

as HE never gives up on you & me & everyone else

because there is always a

"BUT GOD"!

Therefore,

because

GOD IS REAL AND SO ARE YOU,

"we know that in all things GOD

works for the good of those

who love HIM"

(Romans 8:28).

And why would HE?

And why does HE?

Because

GOD IS ALWAYS

"FOR THE GOOD"
