*HOW TO LAST* (III)
_Key Bible Text:_
*"Then said the LORD unto Moses, Behold, I will rain bread from heaven for you; and the people shall go out and gather a certain rate every day, THAT I MAY PROVE THEM, WHETHER THEY WILL WALK IN MY LAW, OR NO."* (Exodus 16:4 (KJV))
_Bible Insight:_
After they murmured, again we will notice that God seemed to overlook their response style one more time instead we read as follows:-
*"Then said the LORD unto Moses, Behold, I will rain bread from heaven for you; and the people shall go out and gather a certain rate every day, THAT I MAY PROVE THEM, WHETHER THEY WILL WALK IN MY LAW, OR NO."* Exodus 16:4
God is more interested in seeing how committed you are in walking with Him in his word and will!
Even when God blesses us inspite of us, his blessings are not a confirmation that we are doing well, but rather a test whether we will recognize his goodness and reciprocate his faithfulness.
Sometimes, God will rather examine or test your faith and commitment with blessings rather than allowing satan to afflict you like Job.
It is how you use your blessings that shows whether you will last in the faith or fall out.
If both your blessings & your problems bring you closer to God, you are preparing yourself to last in this race.
Practice consistently believing God and walking in obedience to God. Don't be like the Israelites who saw the wonders of God, and were fearful and grateful but who could not sustain that experience in their walk with God.
How you continue with God, is more important than how you begin with God. Be conscious of lasting in your transformative experiences with God.
_MEDITATION:_
*"You can loose the transformation experience if you don't stay conscious of continuing in your disciplines of walking with God!"*

*HOW TO LAST* (II)
_Key Bible Text:_
*"And said, If thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice of the LORD thy God, and wilt do that which is right in his sight, and wilt give ear to his commandments, and keep all his statutes, I will put none of these diseases upon thee, which I have brought upon the Egyptians: for I am the LORD that healeth thee."* (Exodus 15:26 (KJV))
_Bible Insight:_
After they murmured, we will notice that God seemed to overlook their response style instead we read as follows:-
*"And he cried unto the LORD; and the LORD shewed him a tree, which when he had cast into the waters, the waters were made sweet: there he made for them a statute and an ordinance, and there he proved them."* Exodus 15:25 KJV
And then the Lord added...*"If thou wilt DILIGENTLY hearken to the voice of the LORD thy God, and wilt do that which is right in his sight, and wilt give ear to his commandments, and keep all his statutes...."* the promise that follows is not the problem. The problem is our ability to carry out the terms of engagement!
Shortly after this scenario, another problem came up and once again, they responded with even a worse attitude:-
*"And the whole congregation of the children of Israel murmured against Moses and Aaron in the wilderness: and the children of Israel said unto them, Would to God we had died by the hand of the LORD in the land of Egypt, when we sat by the flesh pots, and when we did eat bread to the full; for ye have brought us forth into this wilderness, to kill this whole assembly with hunger."*
(Exodus 16:2â€-‬3 (KJV))
Dont be so surprised with their response. Rather, look inwards, when and how have you behaved in like manner? Of course, not with the same words but have your faith not dropped and your commitments to the Lord wanned when your prayers kept looking unanswered?
Have you not been tempted to "help" God since God was being too slow?
Have you not accused God of abandoning you and being unfair?
Have you not asked God why he has not delivered as expected both or either directly or indirectly?
_MEDITATION:_
*"Your Faith in God is not proven by how you praise God when your prayers are answered but by how you praise God even when you have no testimony yet!"*

*HOW TO LAST*
_Key Bible Text:_
*"And Israel saw that great work which the LORD did upon the Egyptians: and the people feared the LORD, and believed the LORD, and his servant Moses."* (Exodus 14:31 (KJV))
_Bible Insight:_
It is good to see God's great works. Israel saw how God dealt with Pharaoh and his army. They all perished in the red sea, same red sea that became an express road for the Israelites to pass through.
The Bible records that *"And Israel saw that great work which the LORD did upon the Egyptians: and the people feared the LORD, and believed the LORD, and his servant Moses."*
You will expect that they will stay believing the Lord and His servant Moses but they soon lost their fear and their faith.
So Moses brought Israel from the Red sea, and they went out into the wilderness of Shur; and they went three days in the wilderness, and found no water. And when they came to Marah, they could not drink of the waters of Marah, for they were bitter: therefore the name of it was called Marah. And the people murmured against Moses, saying, What shall we drink? (Exodus 15:22â€-‬24 KJV)
About four days later, they were already murmuring against Moses. Three days in the wilderness, no water and then the only water was bitter.
This is sadly not just the story of the Isrealites and Moses, but this is the story of many of us.
We soon forget what great victories the Lord has given us in the face of new challenges especially when the problem lingers.

*GOING FORWARD with what you have*
_Key Bible Text:_
*"And the LORD said unto Moses, Wherefore criest thou unto me? speak unto the children of Israel, that they go forward: but lift thou up thy rod, and stretch out thine hand over the sea, and divide it: and the children of Israel shall go on dry ground through the midst of the sea."* (Exodus 14:15â€-‬16 (KJV))
_Bible Insight:_
Many times you will feel stuck. You will feel unsure of yourself. Many times it will look like there is no road ahead of you, as you don't know where else to turn.
At such times, learn to do just the next thing you can possibly do. There is always something you can do at any given time no matter how stuck you think you are.
The problem is, you are too busy underestimating what that little thing (as you call it) you know to do can bring about.
So Uncle Moses knows not what to do as he and his people have been cornered with only the red sea ahead of them. Then God tells him, *"why are you crying to me? There is still some space between you and the people and the red sea. Go forward, get as close to the sea as possible."*
Then the next instructions came, *"lift thou up thy rod, and stretch out thine hand over the sea, and divide it"*
You too, no matter how stuck things maybe. There is a little step you can take. Take it. While at it, the next instructions will come. Don't underestimate the so called little step. Go forward!
And that skill you have, that job that is not paying well yet, that volunteer work that is just getting you busy with no income, that assignment that you keep solving and they only say a word of appreciation, etc keep at it and sooner or later your own red sea will divide too!
_MEDITATION:_
*"Don't under estimate the little step you can take when you feel stuck. Go forward even if it is forward in more prayer!"*

*Choosing stillness over worriness*
_Key Bible Text:_
*"And Moses said unto the people, Fear ye not, stand still, and see the salvation of the LORD, which he will shew to you to day: for the Egyptians whom ye have seen to day, ye shall see them again no more for ever. The LORD shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace."* (Exodus 14:13â€-‬14 (KJV))
_Bible Insight:_
Practice being still. Practice peacefulness especially in the face of a potentially worrisome possibilities, uncertainties and events.
This is one thing we must work at. And it comes by immersing yourself in the possibilities of God-can-do-ness backed by a die hard belief in God-is-good-ness!
Be too sure of the goodness and mercies of God. Allow the thoughts of God's goodness mercy linger long enough in your mind until it crowds out and chases out the worry and fear that's distracting.
Pause the disturbing worry that chokes your peace and strength by standing still, and as you do, you will sooner or later, see the salvation of the LORD, which he will shew to you "to day"-- that day it matters most. God knows how to show up just at the nick of time when you trust and obey him!
The LORD shall fight for you, and you shall hold your peace. Yes. God fights for his own. He takes care of the issues. He sometimes simply makes the issue become a non-issue in such a way you will be shocked.
Learn to hold your peace patiently. Wait on the Lord, I say, wait!
_MEDITATION:_
*"Being able to abandon your lots into God's hand is necessary to practicing stillness"*
