Let Go!!!

Let go of your fear. It says 365 times in the Bible - "Fear not." That's one for every day of the year. Let go. Cast all your care on God. Say, “Lord, this is too heavy a burden. I can't handle it. I'm too afraid." Let go of your fear.

How do you let go of your fear? There's only one way. Recognize and remind yourself that God is in control. That's the only way you will ever let go of a fear. Recognize and remind yourself that God is in control. Then you can relax a little bit.

Exodus 14:1 - "Then the Lord said to Moses, `Tell the Israelites to turn back and encamp near Pi Hahiroth between Migdol and the sea. They are to encamp by the sea.”

Who told the children of Israel to camp in a cul-de-sac? There was no exit! The Red Sea was ahead of them, mountains and deserts flanked them, and the Egyptians were chasing them. They had reason to be afraid!!!
But God told them to go there. Not Moses. God led them there. He put them in an impossible situation with mountains on two sides and an ocean ahead and the Egyptians coming.
Sometimes God sets you up for a miracle. He sets you up by pushing you. "I don't know how I'm ever going to get out of debt! This is a total mess. There is no way it can work out." You have a Red Sea on your hands.

Remind yourself that God has led you there and the safest place to be is in the centre of God's will.

So what's the lesson? When God guides, God provides!

It was a test of faith on behalf of the Israelites. Are you facing a personal Red Sea today? My word to you then is "congratulations!"
God can do something significant in your life. Let go of fear because you know if you're trying to the best of your ability (not perfectly), live for the Lord, God has allowed these things. Nothing can happen in my life without the heavenly Father's permission. I am a child of His, so He's watching out for me.

God is in control!!! Therefore I don't need to be afraid because where God guides, God provides. If you're in an impossible situation, you're probably right in the middle of the will of God. He's setting you up for a miracle. So let go! Let go of your fear.
