From the Pastor's Desk

In their eyes the children of Israel were doomed when they looked back and saw the Egyptians behind them and the Red Sea ahead of them. They were trapped.

In fear, the children of Israel cried, “Was it because there were no graves in Egypt that you brought us to the desert to die? What have you done to us by bringing us out of Egypt? Didn’t we say to you in Egypt, ‘Leave us alone; let us serve the Egyptians’? It would have been better for us to serve the Egyptians than to die in the desert!” Moses answered the people, “Do not be afraid. Stand firm and you will see the deliverance the Lord will bring you today. The Egyptians you see today you will never see again. The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still.”

Then the Lord said to Moses, “Why are you crying out to me? Tell the Israelites to move on. 

God never calls his children to go back, but to move forward. He wants us to move on. He doesn’t want us just sitting and complaining about where we are in life, but He wants us to move on to what He has in store for our future.

I believe God is telling his church that in spite of all the chaos going on in the world He wants His church to move on. He wants us to keep moving forward. There are still lost souls in the world that He wants us to reach. Let’s quit looking behind us and start looking ahead.
