LIving By Faith

Walk by Faith

I wonder how Moses felt when armies were coming for his people and he led them to the sea with no boat to carry them or no bridge to cross. Did Moses see beforehand that God would do a miracle? Or did Moses simply do what he felt to do in his heart—moment by moment—and expect a miracle would happen?

The unction in my heart is that Moses had no idea what God would do next. Moses was simply led by the Spirit to do the next best thing for his people as any human leader would do. Can you imagine what it felt like to be the leader of a nation and be cornered on all sides by adversity? The only thing left to do in Moses’ case, would be to expect a miracle.

I wonder if President Obama felt the same when he was left with the mess he had to clean up when he took office. He was cornered on all sides, desperate to make a decision to help his people, and all he could do was take it one day at a time, ferreting out problems as they arose, and weighing which would be the one that could cause the most damage first. He was probably hoping for a miracle.

But an interesting thing happened—a miracle didn’t happen for Americans. Because a miracle didn’t happen, the people lost faith in their leader. They figured, had he been the chosen one, a miracle would have happened. Right? Is that what had happened in the heart of Americans? Or did we really lose faith in God. And because we were afraid to blame our condition on God, we blamed it on a man—an easier target?
