Movement as an Act of Obedience

In the book of Numbers, God told Moses to speak to a rock so water would flow from it. Instead, Moses struck it with his staff. Because of his disobedience, Moses was not allowed to lead the people into the Promised Land. Instead, that role was given to Joshua. When Joshua led the Israelites to the Jordan River, he instructed the people to consecrate themselves and move out of their positions when they saw the Ark of the Covenant being carried ahead of them. The Israelites obeyed, and God dried up the waters of the Jordan River so they could cross over into the Promised Land.

In the same way, when you move according to how God is leading you, your obedience creates space for His miracles in your life. God has done a mighty work in you since you’ve chosen to follow Him. Now is not the time to shrink back — it is time to press in with everything you have and move in the direction He is asking of you.

Prayer

Lord, thank You for all that You have invited me into. You remove the obstacles in my way. You love me so much, and You continuously make a way for me to move forward. I will not partner with fear, and I will not shrink back. Instead, I will have faith and cross over into Your promises for me. Amen.
