No matter what stage of life you’re at, we all feel the temptation to give up. After all, why should we bother trying to do good each day? In today’s episode of Changing, Donald discusses how we can persevere through obstacles and continue living by God’s word, even when it seems difficult.
Israelites were the Egyptian’s slaves for hundreds of years.
The Lord sent Moses to be the instrument to lead the Israelites out of slavery to their promised land.
When Moses told everyone they were leaving, the people were skeptical. After all, Moses wasn’t the first one who tried to escape.
The Israelites crossed out of Egypt to travel to a home of happiness. However, many Israelites grew anxious about their Egyptian captors apprehending them.
God guided them thus far, and he didn’t bring them to die.
What would you do? You could run, fight, or give up. Or you could do what Moses did - have faith.
Moses likely thought about how much faith and trust the people had put in God during their journey. They didn’t come this far to only come this far.
We know what ended up happening - Moses parted the sea, and after the Israelites passed, the water drowned the Egyptians who gave chase.
The moral of the story? If God told you that he’s going to do something, and you remain faithful, trust him! This is the person who created everything. If he can create everything, he can probably help you pay that utility bill, raise a family, or find a job. You need his guidance and strength to do what he knows you should do.
Above all, first, lead with love. If this podcast speaks to you or helps you on your journey to change, let us know by leaving a rating or review. Share your testimony or contact Donald at donaldckelly09@gmail.com, or contact him on Twitter or Instagram.
