Get up, fight, possess!

 

Sometimes we expect God to do everything for us. In a manner of speaking, we want Him to put food in our platter and further feed us while we sit back indolently and simply say ‘praise the Lord’ to all comers. It doesn’t work like that always. Though God has already promised us Heshbon, we need to rise up, cross the Arnon gorge, engage Sihon in battle and then start taking possession of his land.

Has the Lord promised us something? It may call for some wrestling in prayer, some strong steps of faith, and some wielding of the sword of the Spirit, before it becomes ours.

“Standing on the promises of God” is fine, but sometimes you’ve got to march forward on the promises of God!
