The First One In | Bill Cloud

Sometimes, the Father causes us to take an unexpected turn in our journey to Him, asking us to do something that is very unorthodox and doesn’t make sense to the world, but it’s all a part of His plan. He uses foolish things to confound the wise. As the children of Israel are leaving Egypt, He told them to turn, and go a route that was contrary to what others said was best. With Egypt closing in, the odds seemed stacked against the Israelites, but He that keepeth Israel neither slumbers nor sleeps. If the adversary comes against you, don’t quit, keep going! That’s the time to double down and come against the enemy. The very reason he’s coming against us is because we’re doing what God has called us to do. If we willingly concede ground to the adversary, then we are at the same time willingly resisting God. Our fear of God must overwhelm our fear of everything and everyone else. We have to decide, “I’m going forward,” and be the first person to go into the parting of the sea. All of those who trust God enough are bearing witness that this is the path He has ordained and are inspiring one another to be courageous and take that same step of faith.
