The other day I was working in the field. Where I was working had some very wet areas in them. One place was so wet that the tractor sank in the mud and then began to get a hold and take off. It was an interesting feeling.
Then last night I was moving another tractor and disc from one field to another. I over shot the entrance off of a busy state highway. I sat there trying to back up the tractor with a disc and rolling baskets behind. There was no backing up. I managed to put tractor into the middle of the ditch between the road and the field I needed to be in. I sat there for a few seconds and prayed. I switched the tractor’s front wheel assist on and I turned right going up the side of the ditch. As I did I felt the tractor shifting it’s weight toward my left. I prayed harder that it would not roll over as it was a huge possibility. I felt all six tires grab hold and begin to pull. In a few short seconds I was in the field. It was the longest few seconds of my life.
In life we will come across obstacles. Moses and the Israelites were faced with the Red Sea in front of them and the Egyptian army closing in behind them. What were they to do. Look at Exodus 14:15, “And the LORD said unto Moses, Wherefore criest thou unto me? speak unto the children of Israel, that they go forward:” Just two verses prior to this God tells them to stand still and see the salvation of the LORD. Now, He says to go forward.
We have some choices in life when we find ourselves against obstacles. We can try to go around it. We can attempt to go over it or we can just go on through it. What is your response? Better yet, what is God directing you to do?
So, how are you doing?
