We have to take the first step as though there were no God. It is no use to wait for God to help us, He will not; but immediately we arise we find He is there.
From Isaiah 60:1: “Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord has risen upon you.”
Oswald Chambers (1874-1917) was a Scottish evangelist and Christian teacher. Following his death from an illness while in Egypt during World War I, his wife took on the task of transcribing the detailed notes she had written from his lectures and sermons. Gertrude Hobbs Chambers’ efforts resulted in the publication in 1924 of MY UTMOST FOR HIS HIGHEST. I frequently read from this devotional, and it has greatly deepened my faith and understanding of God’s Word.
True. This reminds me that God told the Israelites to take a step into the Red Sea. The waters parted as they stepped forward. God is always just in time!

Amen! Vickie, your example is one which always reminds me to step forward in anticipation of God’s next step.
