Take Logical Steps

Then the Lord said to Moses, “Why are you crying out to me? Tell the people to get moving! Pick up your staff and raise your hand over the sea. Divide the water so the Israelites can walk through the middle of the sea on dry ground. And I will harden the hearts of the Egyptians, and they will charge in after the Israelites. My great glory will be displayed through Pharaoh and his troops, his chariots, and his charioteers. When my glory is displayed through them, all Egypt will see my glory and know that I am the Lord!” —Exodus 14:15-18 (NLT)

Our main business is not to see what lies dimly at a distance, but to do what lies clearly at hand. —Thomas Caryle

The cloud settled between the Egyptian and Israelite camps. As darkness fell, the cloud turned to fire, lighting up the night. But the Egyptians and Israelites did not approach each other all night. —Exodus 14:19-20 (NLT)

Questions to Ponder:

Take Logical Steps
In Rule #5, we studied the concept of standing still and waiting on the Lord. Rule #6 tells us to move on by taking the next step. Do you see a contradiction? Why or why not?

How far in advance does God usually reveal His will for our lives? Base your answer on verses like Luke 11:3 and 2 Corinthians 4:16.

What does Proverbs 3:5–6 teach about faith and God’s will?

Can you think of the next logical step you should take in a situation you’re facing? If so, jot it down along with a schedule for implementing it.

Imagine God’s There
Based on Isaiah 57:15, where does God live?

According to passages like Psalm 73:28 and Isaiah 41:10, what benefit comes from knowing God is near?

If you knew Jesus was literally standing beside you right now, how would you feel differently about your current Red Sea problem?

What are some helpful ways in which you can “practice the presence” of God?
