As leaders, we are challenged when we face the ups and downs associated with our transformational work.
But I was reminded in this passage how even in the mist of trouble and what appeared to be “apprehent victory” of those who were greater or mightiest than we, two things were true:
⁃ The Lord had and has a hedge of protection over each of us that are pursuing his Devine purpose. This hedge is designed to prepare the way as we travel and move forward to ensure that his purpose is achieved.
⁃ The Lord will bring us through the various twists and turns as he has a destination awaiting us. It is already done. It is already prepared. It will be beautiful when we arrive. It will be a sanctuary.
Leaders, our responsibility is to focus on the promise and keep moving forward.
Our confidence is that the Lord will prosper our work so that His purpose shall be revealed and that he gets all the glory.
Stay strong
Stay focused
Press forward
“Terror and dread fall upon them; because of the greatness of Your arm they are as still as a stone–till Your people pass by and over [into Canaan], O Lord, till the people pass by whom You have purchased. You will bring them in [to the land] and plant them on Your own mountain, the place, O Lord, You have made for Your dwelling, the sanctuary, O Lord, which Your hands have established. The Lord will reign forever and ever.”
Exodus 15:16-18 AMPC
