Do something!

There are times when we need to stop!

Stop praying and do something!

There are times, all that is required of us is to do something!

Make an attempt!

Move forward!

Retreat to refire!

Instruct!

This is exactly the story of Moses and the Israelites, as the Lord impressed “Do Something” in my heart!

God had just delivered the Israelites from the oppression of the Egyptians.

Some hours later, after their exodus from Egypt, king Pharaoh changed his mind about releasing the Israelites. And he followed after them so as to capture them.

The Israelites- now caught up in between the Egyptian army and the Red Sea were sore afraid.

They started ranting-

Exodus 14:10-12

“As Pharaoh approached, the Israelites looked up and saw them—Egyptians! Coming at them! They were totally afraid. They cried out in terror to God. They told Moses, “Weren’t the cemeteries large enough in Egypt so that you had to take us out here in the wilderness to die? What have you done to us, taking us out of Egypt? Back in Egypt didn’t we tell you this would happen? Didn’t we tell you, ‘Leave us alone here in Egypt—we’re better off as slaves in Egypt than as corpses in the wilderness.’””

‭‭Exodus‬ ‭14‬:‭10‬-‭12‬ ‭MSG‬‬

Meanwhile, Moses encouraged the Israelites. He also must have been praying ‘cos in verse 15, the Lord told Moses to quit praying and do something!

Vs 15-18

Here’s my paraphrase of what God said-

-Tell the Israelites to go forward toward the sea

-To lift up his rod , stretch it to part the sea

-The Israelites will walk through the sea on dry ground.

-While you are walking ahead, as instructed, I’ll make sure the Egyptians continue with their stubborn chase

-I’ll use Pharaoh and his entire army- his chariots and horsemen, to put my Glory on display so that the Egyptians will realize that I am God.

‭‭Exodus‬ ‭14‬:‭15‬-‭18‬ ‭MSG‬‬

Meaning, do what you can, and must do; and I will do what only me can do!

In rounding up?

Quick question?

Have you been praying and praying; and it seems God is silent on you?

Could it be God had given you an instruction, and waiting on you to do something so He could do His own part?

I’m here to charge you today- do something! Quit praying and step out!

I pray for renewed strength for you today to Do Something about what you have been praying for. Take a step of faith because faith without works is dead.

Remember, Do Something!
