We get stuck. That is human nature. It happens to us today, just as it happened in the days of Moses. At a time when his people were crippled by fear and crushed by frustration, God said it was time to get moving.
“Then the Lord said to Moses, ‘Why are you crying out to me?’ Tell the Israelites to move on” (Exodus 14:15). God told them to move through the Red Sea.
Time to move on.
Are you stuck in your resentments? It’s time to move on. Are you tied to your triggers and temptations? It’s time to move on. Do you find yourself living in the cycle of shame? It’s time to move on.
The Israelites eventually got it right. “By faith the people passed through the Red Sea as on dry land” (Hebrews 11:29). Now, what about you? Are you ready to move on?
Recovery Step: You’ve been stuck long enough. It’s time to move on.
