Topic: Urge to retreat to Struggles
Highlights:
“Yahweh our God spoke to us at Horeb, saying, ‘You have stayed long enough at this mountain. Deuteronomy 1:6 LSB
I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you. John 4:18
There may be some burden in your heart but you should not feel that God is not concerned. God knows you weep and why you do not eat and why your heart is sad? He said Am I not better to you than everything in this world? “For this reason I say to you, do not be worried about your life, as to what you will eat or what you will drink; nor for your body, as to what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing? Look at the birds of the air, that they do not sow, nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not worth much more than they?
Matthew 6:25-26 LSB
God knows your struggles and know what you need. You have stayed long enough at this mountain. That urge to murmur or groan is on you but do not let it come out of your mouth to report that urge.
Then Jesus said, “Did I not tell you that if you believe, you will see the glory of God?” John 11:40
An instruction from God will precede the victory over that urge to retreat into wrong decision that surrender to defeat. Do not stay too long on the urge but rather bless the Lord at all times and Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, i say, on the LORD.
Turn and set out, and go to the hill country..... as far as the great river, the river Euphrates. See, I have given over the land before you; go in and possess the land which Yahweh swore to give to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to them and to their seed after them.’
Deuteronomy 1:7-8
Trust in the promise. Release the urge and do not let it injure your progress no matter what.
Prayer: Yahweh, God of Israel give me peace; and grant your petitions that I have asked of you according to your riches in glory in Jesus name. Amen
