I think the era we are in now is like the tensest
era so far. This is an era where out of tension, people use drugs to make them
sleep; make them stay awake; relieve weariness; assist with weight gain or
weight reduction etc. You hear the word, “Under pressure” more than you hear
the word, good day. Anger has suddenly become the most displayed emotion. Frustration
isn’t farfetched.
In Exo 14, I love what Moses did. After the children
of Israel got out of Egypt and were faced with the red sea, and right behind
them were chariots filled with hungry looking wicked Egyptians. Out of
frustration and anger, the children of Israel shouted, “Is it because there are
no graves in Egypt, that’s why you brought us to come and die in the
wilderness? Didn’t we tell you to leave us alone in Egypt? Did we complain to
you?”
For me, their complaints were enough to make a sane
man go insane, but Moses didn’t give a fuss. Why? Because he had seen all the
things that God had done in the past, so that gave him enough and uncommon boldness
to reply them that, “Fear ye not, stand still, and see the salvation of the LORD,
which he will shew to you today: for the Egyptians whom ye have seen today, ye
shall see them again no more forever. The LORD shall fight for you, and ye
shall hold your peace.”
Had Moses fret, maybe he would have surrendered to
the Egyptians, but he didn’t even pray before God came through for him. In the
face of the storm, Jesus was sleeping. Friends, no matter what is happening,
the first thing to do is to relax. Don’t kill yourself by worrying, after all
worry would only bury you in deeper mess. Worry and nervousness is an indication
of fear which is anti-faith.
Cool down sir/ma, God is still on the throne, so you
are super covered.
Have a cool and calm time in His presence.
