How 'tidy' Is Your Spiritual Bedroom Series

Now today you may be thinking, I am merely ONE believer in a world of many sinners and there is NOT a thing I could do to make a difference… but that is where you are wrong.

When you begin to seek the face of God and seek to submit your life to God, people take notice. Some will notice with a view that you are just trying to be holier than thou… but there will be some who’ll notice and realize that it is God at work in your life and they will begin to seek God because of your witness…

Moses was terrified to go to the people and say that God had sent him to deliver them. He tried to make all sorts of excuses, but God persisted and told Moses to rely on Him. Moses submitted to God’s call and the children of Israel were delivered from Egypt…

When we are called by God to ‘do’ something for His kingdom, there are many of us who have excuse after excuse, but God is going to be persistent!

Just like in the story of Jonah, God is not going to allow us to run the other way! When God calls we must answer, or live with the consequences.

Do you want a fulfilled Christian walk? Do you want your spiritual bedroom to be as clean as it can be? Then you have to begin to submit and surrender to the call of God on your life! You have to be willing to be faithful to God when He calls you…even if it looks hopeless or useless!

Back to our story… we know the story how Moses won the release of the people of Israel, but we also know that Pharaoh’s heart was hardened and he had 2nd thoughts!

He decided he was not going to let them go… so he began to chase them! Ultimately the nation of Israel was trapped with the Red Sea in front of them and the Egyptian army behind them… there was NO PLACE to run.

But again God calls on Moses to have faith and then to live out that faith through faithful living. Moses does, as God instructs him to stretch out his staff toward the Red Sea. Moses does this… and the waters of the Red Sea part and dry ground appears below. Because of Moses’ faith they are delivered once again! And we see this echoed in v.29 where…

29 By faith they crossed the Red Sea as though they were on dry land. When the Egyptians attempted to do this, they were drowned.

I can guarantee you that Moses was skeptical when he went into Egypt for God, but his faithfulness in serving was rewarded by God’s faithfulness in providing for the victory. Submit to God and allow Him to win the battles for you!

But even when the battles seem to be won, we must realize that the enemy is NOT going to give up and give in! 2 Peter tells us that our enemy is Satan and he is like a roaring lion… a roaring lion is roaring because he is hungry!

He is roaming to and fro seeking whom he can gobble up and destroy! So understand that even though we may win a victory here or there, Satan, our enemy does not give up and will continue to try to destroy us…

But like the Egyptians, Satan may think he has us trapped, but God is going to deliver us and ultimately destroy Satan…

Several years ago HBO played a series of war stories in a mini-series called Band of Brothers. The finale was to air on Memorial Day of that year.
