We live in a world where everything is taught through logic. Doctors seldom accept miracles in the their patients life's. If a patient had cancer and the cancer is gone, the first diagnosis was misdiagnosed. In that way everything stays logical. Never before in my life time was there such a tremendous attack on Christian thinking, faith and believe. It is no wonder we as Christians fall in the same secular logic trap. It is better explained logical than to tell somebody that it is a miracle born out of the hand of God.
When the Israelites were fleeing from the Egyptians, their logic told them that they were going to die. In Exo. 14:13 Moses gave the people a few very amazing instructions.
1. Don't be afraid
Fear is definitely a mindset. It is something we need to act upon to let it happen. When things go so very wrong in our life our logical step is to worry and fear. I decide to fear the landlord, bank, disease and all other things I don't have control over. Moses said don't fear.
2. Stand your Ground
Standing your ground is easy when your bedroom door is locked and you are safely under your blankets on the bed. It is not so easy when you are in the open and there are thousands of fully armed men coming towards you, trying to kill you. Your logic says: "Run, run as fast as you can." Moses moved away from logic and into God's principles. He told them to stop looking at the Egyptians and start looking at God.
Stop fearing and don't move from the place you are standing. If they would do that they would see God in action and never see the Egyptians again.
If we can conquer a problem in life by trusting God, that problem will never be a problem again, because we will know God gave us victory on it before and will do so again.
Exo. 14:14 " The Lord will fight for you, and all you have to do is keep still."
Zec. 4:6 " The angel told me to give Zerubbabel this message from the Lord: " You will succeed, not by military might or by your own strength, but by my Spirit."
I believe that it is time to do the most non logical thing and that is to trust God with everything we have, when or minds wants logical answers.
