Exodus 15:11-13 (Amplified Bible) Who is like You, O Lord, among the gods? Who is like You, glorious in holiness, awesome in splendor, doing wonders? You stretched out Your right hand, the earth's [sea] swallowed them. You in Your mercy and loving-kindness have led forth the people whom You have redeemed; You have guided them in Your strength to Your holy habitation.
Sometimes it is easier to follow God if we hear about the Promised Land but not the journey to get there. We will praise God when He brings us through one of the battles. But just like the children of Israel we lose focus on the promise as we look into the next battle. When we received our calling we knew where we would be in the end, but we did not see all the battles we would face to get there. God knows that we would not have the faith to sustain us through if we saw the battles that lay between us and our goal. However if He only lets us see one battle at a time He knows that our faith will increase from each victory building us up to face the next battle. So use your previous victory to face your next battle after all those battles really are not yours, they belong to the Lord.
Love and God Bless,
