Do not go back to your "Egypt"...!

Exodus 14:12-14 NKJV

Is this not the word that we told you in Egypt, saying, ‘Let us alone that we may serve the Egyptians’? For it  would  have  been better for us to serve the Egyptians than that we should die in the wilderness.” And Moses said to the people, “Do not be afraid. Stand still, and see the salvation of the Lord , which He will accomplish for you today. For the Egyptians whom you see today, you shall see again no more forever. The Lord will fight for you, and you shall hold your peace.”

Shalom! Day #93. Do you know that many of us don't like trials and testing and that when God takes you out of a situation,  you would literally complain and grumble because you felt comfort in the zone where you was? Let's pray. Father, give us a spiritual eyes that we would be able to see the big picture of Your plans which You have for us. Thank You, Lord. In Jesus name we ask and pray, amen!

When trials and testing comes, we always grumble and complain that we want to be out of it, but when God takes us out of it, be regret and we would think "it would be better if I did not come out of it." God takes us out of out spiritual "Egypt" so that He can fulfill His promises to us. Nevertheless, we feel that it's better to remain in our "Egypt." This isn't a new problem. Moses had to face such problems as well. The plans of God for us is to give us the abundance of life. He wants to take us out of our sin filled life into a sinless life, yet when the process of "taking out" begins,  or shall I say the redemption process begins, we find it hard, we feel so disturbed,  we had to suffer because we felt comfort being in that zone.

Sometimes we are afraid to step into the things that the Lord has prepared for us. We feel what if this happens, what if that happens, to much of worry and fear when the Lord brings you out, sometimes even you feel that you are ao vulnerable to the attacks or the enemy if you are out of the comfort zone. For the Israelites,  Egypt was their comfort zone and when Moses brought them out of Egypt,  their slavery, out of sinful living, they begin to fear what will happen if the enemy attacks and so on. So, they go on complaining in the new place where the Lord has place them! And Moses said to the people, “Do not be afraid. Stand still, and see the salvation of the Lord , which He will accomplish for you today. For the Egyptians whom you see today, you shall see again no more forever. The Lord will fight for you, and you shall hold your peace.” Amen! You shall no more see the enemy attacking you are even dragging you back to your comfort zone when you are under the Lord's protection, under His arms.

Let this day be the day of the Lord!
