*LISTEN FOR DIRECTION IN TIME OF CRISIS*
Proverbs 3:5-6 -
5. Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; 6. in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight.
NIV
Exodus 14:15-16
15. Then the LORD said to Moses, "Why are you crying out to me? Tell the Israelites to move on. 16. Raise your staff and stretch out your hand over the sea to divide the water so that the Israelites can go through the sea on dry ground.
NIV
One of the greatest challenges we have in life is unwillingness to involve God in resolving our conflicts and problems. We always think we can handle it. When we feel we need help, we turn to friends, family, associates and professionals. Only few seek God to know what to do. Many, who pray, do not pray and wait to receive direction, they only pray for God’s intervention and help, and straightaway go out on their own to figure it out. As a result conflicts and problems become complicated and messed up, then turn back and accuse God of not helping out. We must always remember that God is in our lives to help us resolve our challenges and guide us out of difficult corners and bring us into the full rest He has promised us. So, we must give Him a chance to do that.
Moses knows the power that God has graciously given him to wield here on earth. He knew that miracles always happen when he uses the staff (rod). But, he also knew that it is always at the command of the LORD, so he cannot just stretch the staff (rod) and expect something to happen. When they came to the red sea, all he did was what he was expected to do – pray for help. The LORD answered and commanded Him to stretch forth his staff towards the sea and divide it. So, he only acted on instruction and the miracle happened – a highway was created for Israel to pass through to the other side without a ship, or bridge. Miracles always happen when God speaks and we obey.
We are counseled by King Solomon not to assume we know what to do all the time. Even when we know what to do, we should still seek the counsel of the Lord. Listen for His directives and obey it completely and you will win the conflict and overcome the challenge and resolve all problems that come your way. With your education, experience and exposure, learn to lean not on that but on the wisdom of God that comes to us via divine revelations. No matter how educated and intelligent you might be, you cannot accurately tell what will happen tomorrow or how a person may react, but God knows. So rely on Him who sees and knows tomorrow and the mind of man.
In time of crisis, pray to the Lord for help and the way forward. Listen and do whatever He tells you to do how and when he said it should be done. It wall always produce miracles. All the miracles of Moses came by praying, listening and acting on instruction. Even our lord Jesus confirmed the same when He mate it clear that He does not speak or act on His own but on what He hears the Father say and what He sees the Father do that is what He says and does.
John 5:19
19. Jesus gave them this answer: "I tell you the truth, the Son can do nothing by himself; he can do only what he sees his Father doing, because whatever the Father does the Son also does.
NIV
John 12:49
49. For I did not speak of my own accord, but the Father who sent me commanded me what to say and how to say it.
NIV
Always listen for direction and do as you are told and you will always be victorious.
Receive grace to wait on the Lord and receive instruction and act on it without fail in Jesus name. May the Lord open your ears to hear clearly and your eyes to see and your mind to understand what you hear and see and your heart to willing and immediately obey in Jesus name.
