Exodus 13:17-15:18, Matthew 21:23-46, Psalms 26:1-12, Proverbs 6:16-19
What God said to me – Have you ever known someone who is out of work, and they say they are trusting Me to provide them with a job and then they sit at home doing nothing? You ask them how their job search is coming, and they reply they’re waiting for Me. Have you noticed that very seldom do you pray a prayer, and the answer just falls into your lap? “I AM” sovereign but you have a responsibility to walk in obedience, seeking Me and My direction. I said that those who wait on Me will walk and not get weary and run and not faint – but notice they are walking and running and not just waiting. When the Hebrews were afraid because Pharoah’s army was approaching and they were trapped by the sea, I told them to stand and see My salvation – that I would fight for them and save them while they kept silent. Moses kept crying out to Me and I told him to stop crying out and to move out. I provided the salvation, but they needed to act on it and obey. When you are waiting for answered prayer, don’t just stop doing everything unless I tell you to – you keep walking in obedience, doing those things you know you are to do to be in obedience and fellowship with Me and you’ll see the answer to your prayer in My timing as you go on with Me.
