Getting Off The Pump, Into The Flow!

Go up to the land flowing with milk and honey. But I will not go with you, because you are a stiff-necked people and I might destroy you on the way.
Exodus 33:3

In Egypt God's people had to pump water from the Nile to irrigate the crops and stay alive. What a picture! Slaving on an old foot pump just to survive. But then the season changes. Listen: "go in and take over the land flowing with milk and honey, not like the land of Egypt where you planted your seed and irrigated it by foot" (Deuteronomy 11:8-10). There's a place in your spiritual walk where you can get off the pump and get into the flow; where you stop sweating over everything because God's goodness simply flows into every area of your life. But this promise is only to the obedient! Listen: "Observe therefore all the commands I am giving you today, so that you may have the strength to go in and take over the land" (Deuteronomy 11:8). It's like having the right access code and account number. All you have to do is make withdrawals, because now you're walking in harmony with God. We all want to live in the flow of God's blessings, yet only a handful of Israelites made it into the Promised Land. Who were they? a) Those who dared to act on the instructions God had given them b) Those who were willing to confront the giants of fear c) Those who refused to be swayed by the opinions of others d) Those whose faith said, "The Lord will lead us into that land [He] will give it to us, do not be afraid" (Numbers 14:8-9). And you can be one of those people!

Prayer
Heavenly Father, help me from being enslaved by the pressures of life and to see the Promised land that you are calling me to enter! In Jesus' Name, Amen
