MY FRIENDS WHY DO YOU CRY, JUST GO FORWARD!!
And the Lord said to Moses, “Why do you cry to Me? Tell the children of Israel to go forward………So the children of Israel went into the midst of the sea on the dry ground, and the waters were a wall to them on their right hand and on their left.” Ex. 14:15-22 (NKJV) The scenario I just presented is what Christ meant when he tells us in Matt. 13:31-32 (NKJV) The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed, which a man took and sowed in his field, which indeed is the least of all the seeds; but when it is grown it is greater than the herbs and becomes a tree….”
My friends, So “Why do you cry to God? When it comes to our faith, God will test us in the small areas of our life and if we believe, it then grows like the smallest of seeds “to where nothing is impossible for us to accomplished.” because nothing is impossible for God and what He is willing to do for His children.
And what God is trying to tell His Children who seek His kingdom “just go forward” because “if you don’t go forward it is impossible to please Him, for whoever would draw near to God must believe that He exists and that He rewards those who seek Him.” Heb. 1:6 (NKJV) In Gen. 12:1 (NKJV) “Lord ask Abram to “go forward” “Get out of your country, from your family and from your father’s house, to a land that I will show you.”
So Abraham Set’s out on a journey not knowing where He was going, only having the faith of a mustard seed, so he went. Now it becomes personal because now it becomes all about our relationship with God. This narrative tells us Abraham had spent time with God and was willing through His faith to give it all to the Master. Inconvenience. Trials and tribulation are secondary to what God may ask us. So we must be prepared to “go forward”.
My friends God sees the bigger picture, which is Him telling us “well done thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.” Matt. 25:21 (KJV) And Now that faith that had begun with us paying a faithful tithe or not lying to the IRS on our income tax will grow along with our endurance to a “new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth will passed away…..
[and our new home becomes] the holy city…and God will forever dwell with the faithful, and we shall be His people and God Himself will be with us and be our God….And God will wipe away every tear from our eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying or pain, for the former things will pass away.” Rev. 21:1-4 (NKJV)
My friends “Why do you cry to God just go forward,” because when we “don’t see His plan When [we] can’t trace His hand [we just have to] Trust His Heart because He sees the master plan and He holds our future in His hand, So don’t live as those who have no hope.” because All our hope is found in Him” Just believe “if we have the faith as a mustard seed, we [can say to any] mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move; and nothing will be impossible for us. Matt. 17:20 (NKJV)
Every excuse we may give as the reason we cannot serve Christ, was challenged and answered at Calvary.
Amen, without faith, we cannot grow in the Lord.
