With God on the lead, you can’t be stranded. How would Pharaoh have thought that the children of Israel would be entangled in the wilderness, when God was on the lead? Following God and His direction for your life, you can’t be shut in. Our God is able to make a way where there seems to be no way. Jesus proclaimed in John14:6 –
“I am the way, the truth and the life”. Following Jesus is being in the way and you can’t go under. One with God is one that cannot be defeated. It doesn’t matter the forces that have arrayed themselves against you; “If God be for us, who can be against us?” Romans 8:31. It was in the light of this sustaining presence of God that David wrote; as he fled from Absalom his son – “I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people that have set themselves against me roundabout” Psalm 3:6.
What can be set against the Lord in battle and who can prevail against the Almighty? He is able to break through every fortification of the enemy; He has promised to burn them altogether. One with God is a goal getter, because God enthrones him in victory. With God on your side, you shall suffer no loss because God will not watch you fail. He is not on your side for the fun of it; He is with you as much as He is on His throne in heaven. He can do with you now, what He can do from His throne in heaven. One with God enjoys all the benefits of God, because God is not with Him or her in measures. God is with you in all His fullness; with Him, there is no variableness, neither any shadow of turning.
One wonders what would have happened to Pharaoh in his thinking that, the children of Israel must have been entangled and shut in, as they journeyed through the wilderness. Did he see God as a fair-weather friend? If God took them out of Egypt with a mighty hand; that, the whole Egypt acknowledged Him as a God indeed: How would the same God leave them stranded in the wilderness? Friends, the Lord is with you as the Strong and Terrible One. Whatever He inaugurates in your life, is something for which you will stand to celebrate. He will not leave you in the middle of the way. He saves to the uttermost.
