35 While he yet spake, there came from the
ruler of the synagogue's house certain which said, Thy daughter is dead: why
troublest thou the Master any further?
36 As soon as Jesus heard the word that was
spoken, he saith unto the ruler of the synagogue, Be not afraid, only believe.
Mark 5:35-36 King James Version (KJV)
The way JESUS is to us, the promise of salvation, is the
same way the Promised Land was to the Israelites. It was a new beginning for
them. What is really important is not just obtaining the promise, it is a
closer relationship with GOD.
GOD wanted to reveal HIMSELF to the Israelites, so HE made
them leave where they were, to a place HE had prepared for them. GOD wanted to
redeem us from our sinful life, so HE sent JESUS to die and deliver us.
16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten
Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting
life.
17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world;
but that the world through him might be saved.
John 3:16-17King James Version (KJV)
The Truth is when you begin the journey; you begin to
realize that some situations make you question your decision to trust GOD.
Start this #Journey, like Abraham (Genesis 12:1-4); Trust GOD and don't
#Question! Just live and act by the promise! Like Joseph (Genesis 39:4-6;
20-23; Gen 40-41) accept your fate, and know that GOD is working something out
for your good.
28 And we know that all things work together for good to them
that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.
Romans 8:28King James Version (KJV)
