Uncharted: Ruach, Spirit of Godናሙና

"I am God, the God of your father," the voice said. "Do not be afraid to go down to Egypt, for there I will make your family into a great nation." — Genesis 46:3 (NLT)

Change can be scary, even when God is the one leading us into it. Jacob was about to leave everything familiar and move to Egypt, but God reassured him with a promise. Sometimes the next step God asks us to take feels uncomfortable or uncertain. But when He says, “Do not be afraid,” it is not just comfort, it is a command backed by His presence and provision. Just like Jacob, we can move forward with courage when we know God is with us.

What step have you been hesitant to take? Write it down, pray over it, and ask God to confirm His guidance as you walk forward in faith.

Prayer:

Father, thank You for going ahead of me into every new place. When I feel fear or hesitation, remind me of Your promises. Give me the courage to follow You with trust and obedience. Amen.
