This episode is an awakening to one simple choice we all have to make. Even though ultimately the work behind the choice is not always easy. Will we choose to go towards God's plan and purpose for our life? Or will we choose to act on fear and let it make decisions for us? Are we prepared to deal with the consequences? Having faith may not be easy or pleasant, but if we are to be obedient it is necessary.

No matter what stands in your way be encouraged. Keep fighting, keep moving, keep pressing and God will continue to do His part. No one said it would be easy. No said the enemy wouldn't seek to destroy. We have the most powerful entity on our side. Walk through this life confident in that.
