I heard it said at a Ladies' Retreat that you can't abound unless you abide. Even in the most overwhelming situations.......for example, a time of fleeing and escape as Moses and the Israelites prepared to cross the Red Sea in Exodus 14:13-14 and a time of war as the Moabites invaded Judah in 2 Chronicles 20:15, 17..... God instructed the leaders (Moses and Jehoshaphat, respectively) to tell the people a)not to fear b)to stand still and c)that the battle was the Lord's. Those instructions run completely contrary to man's "wisdom" and it's hard for most people to do nothing in a crisis. It becomes a faith-building exercise, to rely on our Heavenly Father to protect us. Just a rambling response that brought previous experiences to mind as I read Forrest's post. |
