LIGHT FOR THE WAY
(Daily Devotional)
Wednesday 30th August 2017
TOPIC: MOVING FORWARD
DESPITE THE ODDS
TEXT: “The Lord shall
fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace. And the Lord said unto Moses,
Wherefore criest thou unto me? Speak unto the children of Israel, that they go
forward: but lift thou up thy rod, and stretch out thine hand over the sea, and
divide it: and the children of Israel shall go on dry ground through the midst
of the sea” (Exodus 14:14-16).
Our God is a fighter
and He always uses simple strategies to win great battles. In our text, Israel
was confronted with a challenge that stagnated their faith; they were hedged in
between what one can call ‘the devil and bloody red sea’. With nowhere to go Moses
cried to the Lord and He told Moses to divide the sea using the rod in his hand.
There is something the Lord will want you to do to surmount the odds against
your advancement in life.
Many years ago, there
was a point in our lives that it seemed like there was one storm after another.
I am sure every believer can say “ditto” to that! We felt like we were in a
tornado with only moments of relief. Our pastor back then gave us some simple
but incredible wisdom. He said, “Though there are many storms, there is only
one devil.” That really took the magnitude out of our problems. The devil was
behind all of it and we needed to use our authority and keep pressing forward.
Sometimes, our tendency is to retreat or beg God. In the Scripture above, the
Lord told Moses, “Why are you crying to Me? Use your rod, Moses, and go
forward!” God knew He had put authority in Moses’ rod! We have been given our
rod of authority through Jesus’ Name. Ephesians 2:6 says we are seated with
Christ in heavenly places, far above all evil powers and might. So don’t
retreat from the devil today, just raise your rod of authority and move
forward!
