Hard times
(Ex. 14:1-3).
Inexplicably,(unexplainably) the Lord told Moses to take the people back toward Egypt and camp with their backs to the Red Sea so Pharaoh would attack them The Israelites thought they were going to die, but God said that He would gain glory and honor for Himself through Pharaoh and all his army, “and the Egyptians shall know that I am the Lord” (Ex14:4,17-18).
When we simply cannot understand why God allows circumstances that threaten to overwhelm us, it’s good to remember that He has our good and His glory in mind. If we can say, “Father, please enable me to trust and honor You in this situation,” then we will be in concert with His perspective and plan. —David McCasland
Once again we are faced with the decision; Will I trust God in this?
Give up and let God, when we can do this we have taken the "right" turn at the cross-roads.
