Exodus 14:11

Most of the time, we learn about what it is like to be guided by the Spirit, but not much is spoken about being backed by Him. In this devotional, we will learn about the versatility of God in difficult situations. He leads, and He supports. All we need to do is take a step of faith.

Time and again we become comfortable with less, we settle for what we already know and fail to realize that God desires to give us His very best. He calls us to push the limits of our understanding so that he can take us beyond our perceptions, thoughts, and imagination. In the three coming days we will discover that God is not limited by our past and our experience. In fact, he wants to take us beyond every boundary we have settled for in our lives and past the abilities we have ascribed to ourselves.

Jesus promises that if we stand in faith, we will “win life.” From Moses at the Red Sea, to Jesus with His disciples, Stand is the call to believe God and hold fast to His promises.

John Piper once said, “My job is faithfulness. God’s is fruitfulness.” That quote beautifully illustrates a tension we see throughout God’s Word—namely that while Scripture commands us to work hard, it also tells us that God alone produces results through our work. How do we manage this tension? That’s the question we’ll answer in this four-day devotional.
