Your relationship with God is not a static thing. It is always moving ahead. It is a journey pictured in Scripture in terms of walking with God. It is very important then to keep stepping forward, for in every moment, God’s blessings for you are always ahead. They are always something to arrive at by walking ahead with God. You must step forwards into blessing just as the Israelites were called to step forward into the promised land. Their crucial mistake was to stop and turn back when God was telling them to step ahead into their blessing. They turned back because God’s blessing did not look like a blessing from where they stood. In fact, it looked to them like certain disaster. And that is often the case. The blessings of God only really look and feel like blessing when you have stepped into them. They can’t be perceived from the outside. You just have to believe that God’s way is best and step ahead in faith that this pathway is a pathway of blessing. At times the pathway may indeed look like a pathway to disaster, but you should acknowledge your inability to discern this. God is looking at that situation from outside time. He can see what is on the other side. If he is telling you that this way is best then trust him and keep moving forward.
What is the next step forward for you?
