It just looks like you are trapped

Last night I went and heard a man speak Elder Micheal Patton. He said it just looks like you are trapped. He really didn't have to say anything else that broke something off me I can't explain. He said we focus on the destination, but God is developing us in the journey. That the opposition we face is developing us for what God created us for.

He said often time we are looking to be appointed instead of walking in our anointing. That we should be worried about what God created us for, but we are more excited about what man appoints us to. Make sure you are walking in what God wants you walking in. It is dangerous to be walking in someone else's blessing. Now he dropped a whole lot of gems, but you had to be there.

The basis of his message though was out of Exodus 14. Moses freeing the Israelites from Egypt. That once they got to the water and felt pharaoh coming up behind them. They began to panic but as Moses cried out to God, he told him what he needed was in his hand. He used the staff and split the sea. As Moses got to the other side and closed the red sea and pharaoh and his army drowned.

They thought it was over when they felt the army rumbling towards them. What the enemy meant for Israelites (death) is what pharaoh and his army walked right into. God will work it out for our good. Next time you find yourself in a situation and you wonder why God has put your back against the wall. Remember it is for your development. It only looks like you are trapped.
