“The Israelites saw the great power the LORD showed against the Egyptians. So they had respect (fear, awe, reverence) for the LORD. They put their trust in him…” Exodus 14:31
The Lord had just brought the 10 plagues on the Egyptians, followed up by parting the Red Sea for them to walk across. And here, it tells us the result-so they had respect for Him. They trusted Him. How many times, daily even, does God show us His power-often in the little things? Do we respect Him for it? Worship Him? Thank Him? Or do we think it’s just a coincidence, the way it just happened to work?
This is our story-our story of walking out our faith journey. Our story of the whys, the processes, the transitions, the questions, the feelings, the joys, the triumphants, the frustrations. This is the true, honest, not always pretty record of our journey.
“THE PROCESS IS THE END. FOR IT IS THE PROCESS THAT IS GLORIFYING TO GOD.” --Oswald Chambers
"This life therefore, is not godliness but the process of becoming godly, not health but getting well, not being but becoming, not rest but exercise. We are not now what we shall be, but we are on the way. The process is not yet finished, but it is actively going on. This is not the goal, but it is the right road. At present, everything does not gleam and sparkle, but everything is being cleansed." --Martin Luther
