Who led them by the right hand of Moses, With His glorious arm, Dividing the water before them To make for Himself an everlasting name, Isaiah 63:12

Before coming to the world, the Son of God, whose arm was glorious, carried out an important mission among the chosen people, freeing them from problems that arose before Jacob was born. Still in his mother´s womb, Esau fought against him, and only God knows how Jacob managed to be born, not as the firstborn, because his brother hindered his birth (Genesis 25: 22-26). The battle was about us – the kingdom of darkness was striving for the Savior not to come to redeem us from perdition.

The Father made His Son walk at the right hand of Moses, so that His people might be kept and helped in the journey to the Holy Land. Even today, such a work is done by Him that we may reach the place determined by the Lord. People do not know how much they harm themselves by not paying attention to God. They will lose a lot here and much more in the future. It is definitely not worth neglecting the salvation provided by Jesus in His death.

The Angel of God who walked beside Moses, the deliverer of the Israelites, led him to the right places and aided him in the unforeseen events during the long journey. Today, He delegated this task to the Holy Spirit, the other Comforter, who guides us in all things. Thus, we will not deviate from the divine plan and we will not fall into the trap of the devil. Do not offend the voice of the Spirit of God, considering yourself to be self-sufficient, like Peter did!

Jesus assured us that he would never leave us or forsake us, but that He would be with us until the end of the age (Matthew 28:20). As long as we are in the world under heavenly guidance, there will be no problem without solution. Even if Hell produces the best weapon against our lives, it will not be able to take us down or make us change course, because, by following the Lord, we will not fall.

God is on our side to help us in our battles, delivering us of the lies of the evil one and taking us to the last day without being harassed by the wicked one. We must live what is revealed to us in the Word, because our wisdom and authority is there. After all, no weapon formed against us will prosper (Isaiah 54:17). The important thing is to have the target in the Lord and not look back. Divine will is the best of life.

As the Lord divided the waters when Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, He will act when we follow His biddings in every battle. The enemy will never take us out of the hands of the Almighty. Once enlightened by God, we will never fail or deny Jesus, who has rescued us. The greatest blessing is to know that we will not be defeated if we obey the Comforter.

The work of the Holy Spirit today is to use us in everything so that we always be conquerors. Now, it is up to us alone for the results of the work done by Jesus in our favor be fulfilled as planned. Just as He helped Moses take more than three million people to the physical Land of the Promise, He will also help us to reach the heavenly Canaan. We’ll get there if we do not falter!

In Christ, with love,
