“Walking Onward In Truth”
 
 
 
 
by Dona Hake
 
The Lord desires that we are walking onward in His truth no matter what is going on around us. I think one of the tools the devil will always try to use against us is the distractions that wage war against our peace. I am speaking of the distractions that come when all hell is breaking loose around us and we are going against the strong current in spirit that difficulties or trials bring. Oh that in those times of trials and adversity we would continue to draw from Him and continue to be taught as He speaks to us, we pray, and read His Word. He loves to teach us how He moves and works in the good times as well as adversity.
 
Sometimes in our moving onward the Lord may command us to stand still and watch His hand at work on our behalf. As we obey this is part of the process of moving onward with Him. I think of how scared the Israelites must have been as the sea was before them, and their enemy was behind them. No where to run, no where to hide…no where to walk onward…but God had a plan.
 
 
Exodus 14:13-16  (The Voice)
” And Moses said unto the people, Fear ye not, stand still, and see the salvation of the Lord, which he will shew to you to day: for the Egyptians whom ye have seen to day, ye shall see them again no more for ever.
 The Lord shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace.
 And the Lord said unto Moses, Wherefore criest thou unto me? speak unto the children of Israel, that they go forward:
 But lift thou up thy rod, and stretch out thine hand over the sea, and divide it: and the children of Israel shall go on dry ground through the midst of the sea.”
 
 
 
 
 
Let us learn in those times how He works and moves in the midst of overwhelming adversity. It as we believe, obey, and expect great things that we will praise Him as His truth grows in us, for we will bring  honor and glory to His Name!
