God is telling me to cross the Jordan river again and it scares me. As I read the story of Joshua again, it reminds me of all the things He said to me last year. When I cried for an answer while I was riding my car going back home last year. I kept on thinking whether I will quit my job or not and He kept telling me not to worry about the future for He is with me.
I know I’ve decided to follow Him but when I got pregnant and I am not physically ok, I rested in the house and I don’t like myself sleeping and laying down in bed all the time. I go back to work and tried to enjoy it and decided to stay in my work. But today, as I read the life of Joshua, it reminded me that I should not be afraid in crossing the Jordan river because it is the only way that I can go to my promise land. I am very much comfortable right now being the head of my department and doing so many things for the office. As I read the messages from the following:
Never try to explain to God until you’ve obeyed Him. The only part of God we understand is the part we have obeyed. -Oswald Chambers
Of course I cannot understand what He wanted me to do unless I obey Him. And right now while I am writing this, I feel like a fool of not obeying Him to quit my job and focus on my family.
God is looking for people whom He can do the impossible- what a pity that we plan only the things we can do by ourselves. -AW Tozer
I know that I am trying to say because it is comfortable for me and it doesn’t make sense if I quit my high paying job just to stay at home.
I hope like Joshua, I will be ready to take the challenge and to really do what He wanted me to do. In His time, as I continue to be faithful, He will give me the courage to do it.
