📖 Motivation Monday — When the Way Doesn't Make Sense
We know how the Red Sea story ends.
Israel didn't.
All they could see was water in front of them and Pharaoh's army coming behind them.
But there's a detail in Exodus 14 that's easy to miss:
God had led them there.
They weren't lost.
God hadn't abandoned them.
His plan hadn't failed.
They simply couldn't see yet what He was about to do.
Maybe you're beginning this week in a place you don't understand. You're trying to faithfully follow Jesus, but the road doesn't look anything like you expected.
Don't assume that difficulty means God has disappeared.
💭 Today's Truth
Don't confuse a difficult place with an absent God.
You may not be able to see the way forward yet...
But God can.
The same God who has been faithful behind you can be trusted with whatever is ahead of you.
🙏 Today's Prayer
Lord, thank You that Your presence isn't measured by how easy my circumstances are. When I don't understand where I am or what You're doing, help me trust Your character. Keep fear from convincing me that You have forgotten me. Give me faith to remember Your past faithfulness and trust You with what I cannot yet see. Help me faithfully walk with You today. In Jesus Name, Amen.
If these words express your heart today, pray them with me. Or find your own words and spend a few moments honestly talking with the Lord.
🎙️ Today's Five More Minutes is also available wherever you listen to podcasts.
You don't have to see the road through the water to trust the God who does.
Let's walk with Him today.
