Move Forward

The Lord said to Moses, “Why are you crying out for help? Tell the people to move forward. Exodus 14:15

I was scrolling social media and the scripture popped out at me. How often am I busy crying out to God for help and he is saying” “Move forward in what I told you.”?

About 10 years ago, I felt like I was supposed to put my journals on my blog. It was and still is an overwhelming thought because most years I have journaled daily. I even had people who didn’t even know that I journaled speak over me that I am supposed to publish them. I have procrastinated and disobedience. I’ve done some work but consistency has been the issue. God’s instruction didn’t change, but still I cried not to him for help. His response was just like it was to the Israelites “Move forward.”

This year I have been working consistently on getting the journals transferred to my blog. I have tried to do two to three a day or to at least complete a couple journals a month all while staying current on what I’m writing now. I want to move forward in want God has called me to do. This means that I have to move forward in what He had already told me to do. Until I’m obedient in this step I can’t move forward into the next because there are lessons that I needed to learn here for my next season. I can not complain about feeling stuck if I am not moving forward.

We all have things in our lives that we need to move forward in. Until we are obedient to the last thing God has told us to do, we can not be prepared for the next step. There will always be lessons in the process we need for the next season of our lives.

Lord, forgive me for my disobedience in moving forward. I’m sorry that I still cry out to You for help even though I haven’t taken the step You first told me to. I am committed to moving forward in You.
