“Faith is not about sitting and waiting for God to do something, but about believing that God has already started, so that we dare to take the first step. Although the Red Sea may block our way, the water will never part unless we walk to its edge.”

Spurgeon · Morning Dew

Scripture

Exodus 14:15-16 The Lord said to Moses, “Why do you cry to me? Tell the Israelites to go forward. Hold up your hand and stretch out your staff toward the sea and part the waters. The Israelites shall go into the sea and walk on dry ground.”

Reflection

Faith is not a passive stagnation, but a kind of "pre-emptive" obedience to God's promises. Just as the Israelites faced the Red Sea, if they hadn't been willing to get their shoes and socks wet and step into the waves, the sea would have remained an obstacle, not a smooth path. During this website migration, we may have hesitated due to unknown technical barriers, but when we pressed the "migrate" button in faith, God's guidance was revealed in our actions. It turns out that miracles often don't happen on the waiting shore, but the moment we step into the water; true peace comes from believing that God is already at work ahead, and thus we move forward with confidence.
