"Sometimes we get used to what we see in the movies, and end up forgetting the true story," a friend said to once while we were looking at the port of Miami, "remember the Ten Commandments?"
Of course I remembered. Moses, played by Charton Heston, at one point raises his staff and with that action the waters were divided and the Jewish people walked through the sea.
"In the Bible it is different," says my friend, "in the Bible, God orders Moses to do this by saying, 'Tell the children of Israel to go forward,' Ex.14:15, and only after they start walking does Moses raise his staff to part the Red Sea.
Courage in the path is what makes the path manifest itself.
Sometimes we pray and pray about something but nothing seems to change. Maybe God is saying the same thing to us as he said to Moses, “Why do you cry out to me? Do something!” There are times in which we can be like little children sitting on the floor crying and just waiting for someone to pick us up and fix everything. The truth is that God picked us up at the point of our salvation, and He fixed everything at the cross. From there it is our responsibility to take hold of what has been accomplished for us, apply it to our lives and go forward.
Too often we think that God should be moved by our “need,” but God is not moved by need, He is moved by faith. Faith requires action. It starts by knowing what God’s promise is for you in your specific area of need. Get into the word and find the scriptures that speak the truth about the matter and start to saturate your mind and spirit with that truth. This is what it means to have our “minds renewed” (Romans 12/2).
