對我們中的一些人來說，這是一個多麼重要的旅程！許多人一直走在一條似乎是絕對是繞路的道路上。

"但是，上帝，我以為你會這樣做；我沒想到我的奇蹟和突破會這樣出現，"你可能發現自己在說。

儘管你到達現在的方式或形式與你能預見的任何事情都不一樣，但它仍然是進入你應許之地的時間和正確的路徑。

"我們曉得萬事都互相效力，叫愛神的人得益處，就是按他旨意被召的人。"（羅馬書8:28）

主並不希望你經歷這樣的爭戰！但祂透過這個過程做了美事。（對我們中的一些人來說，這是一條艱難的道路）。

當我研究以色列人在渡過紅海和逃離奴役之前的曠野之旅時，我偶然發現了這些經文。

"法老容百姓去的時候，非利士地的道路雖近，神卻不領他們從那裡走；因為神說：恐怕百姓遇見打仗後悔，就回埃及去。所以神領百姓繞道而行，走紅海曠野的路。以色列人出埃及地，都帶著兵器上去。"（出埃及記13:17-18）

許多評論指出，儘管以色列人在渡過紅海這一史詩性時刻的旅程是繞路的，但透過這一過程，他們獲得了軍事上的命令，為他們面對法老和埃及人做了更好的預備。

你們為追求自己的奇蹟而經歷的這個繞路的旅程，是最大的訓練場地。在這個季節，你學到了只有在曠野中才能學到的武器工具。

不要回頭看

主清楚地告訴我，當我們越過我們的應許，進入新階段時，非常重要的是我們不要回頭，而要堅定地盯著前方。透過保持我們的眼睛向前看，我們將獲得動力，而不會被曠野季節的沮喪和創傷所挫敗。

看看你已經取得的進展！慶祝主所做的一切！踏入神對我們生命的應許的一部分是轉變我們的心態。

感謝祢，耶穌，為祢帶領我經歷的一切。為我將要去的地方感謝祢。感謝祢，我正在站穩腳跟。我正在向前邁進！哈利路亞！

THE ROUNDABOUT COURSE HAS HAD PURPOSE
ANA WERNER

What a journey it has been for some of us! Many have been on a path that seems like the absolute roundabout course of direction.

"But, God, I thought You were going to do that THIS WAY; I didn't expect my miracle and breakthrough to come about like this," you might find yourself saying.

Although the way, or form, through which you have gotten to where you are has been unlike anything you could have foreseen, it is still the TIME and CORRECT PATH for CROSSING OVER into your promised land.

"And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to His purpose." (Romans 8:28)

The Lord didn't desire for you to have go through such warfare! But He has worked good through this process (which for some of us has been a rough road).

As I was studying the Israelites' journey of going through the wilderness, before crossing the Red Sea and escaping slavery, I stumbled upon these verses:

"When Pharoah let the people go, God did not lead them on the road through the Philistine country, though that was shorter. For God said, 'If they face war they might change their minds and return to Egypt.' So God led the people around by the desert road toward the Red Sea. The Israelites went up out of Egypt READY for battle." (Exodus 13:17-18, emphasis added)

Many commentaries point to the fact that even though the Israelites' journey to get to that epic moment of crossing the Red Sea was the roundabout course, through the process, they gained MILITARY ORDER to better prepare them for facing Pharaoh and the Egyptians.

This roundabout journey, which you have gone through in pursuit of your own miracle, has been the greatest training ground. You have learned tools of weaponry during this season that could ONLY HAVE BEEN LEARNED THROUGH THE WILDERNESS.

DON'T LOOK BACK

The Lord spoke to me clearly that as we cross over into our promise and shift into the new, it is VERY IMPORTANT that we DON'T LOOK BACK but keep our eyes fixed firmly forward. By keeping our eyes fixed forward, we will gain momentum and not get set back by the discouragement and trauma from the wilderness season.

Look at the progress you have made! Celebrate what the Lord has done! Part of stepping forward into God's promise over our lives is shifting our mindsets.

Thank You, Jesus, for what You have led me through. Thank You for where I am going. Thank You that I am GAINING GROUND. I'm stepping forward! HALLELUJAH!
