Trust My Leading

When God led the Israelites out of Egypt, you would expect Him to lead them the shortest and most efficient way to escape. You would expect that the Lord of heaven’s armies would strategise a fast and speedy freedom for His people. Right? 

But that is not what mattered to the Lord. His strategy was focused on their forever freedom. He knew that if He led them out through the quickest route, they would most likely run back to their bondage in Egypt. 

Today, the Lord reminds you: 

It is time to trust my leading. 

It is time to trust that I have your freedom in mind.

If you will simply submit to My leading, My promise is an irreversible, sustainable, resilient, galvanised freedom, a freedom like you have never known before. 

So no matter how unconventional, random, or inconvenient the path before you seems, know that I am focused less on how long it takes to get you where you are going. I care more about the solidity of the journey that will allow you to enter the promise land. I never wants you to return to the same bondage you have been freed from. 

Activation: Take a moment to check-in on your emotions. Is any part of you feeling frustrated with the journey you are on? Are you feeling discouraged or believing that your progress has been too slow? Break all partnership with these beliefs and then ask Holy Spirit for a deeper understanding of God’s timing. Spend some time with the Holy Spirit gaining understanding of the journey you are on.

Exodus 13:17-18 (NIV) 

When Pharaoh let the people go, God did not lead them on the road through the Philistine country, though that was shorter. For God said, “If they face war, they might change their minds and return to Egypt.” So God led the people around by the desert road toward the Red Sea.  

Isaiah 41:10 (NIV)

So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.
