God always goes out before his people. The Lord God was in front of Israel when they left Mount Sinai on their way to the promised land (7). Jesus was in front of his apostles and disciples, preaching from town to town. The Holy Spirit led the apostles and disciples where they needed to be and say what they needed to say on and after Pentecost. When Jesus comes again, descending on the clouds (4), leading those who passed before us, the believers alive on the earth will join them in glorious bodies (1 Corinthians 15:20, 23, 50-54).
When God moves, his power shakes the heavens and the earth (8). During the journey, the Lord God provides for his people (9). Though I grow weary, and I do grow weary of the cross I have been assigned to carry, which is this online ministry, the Lord Jesus through the Holy Spirit refreshes my soul and spirit. The Holy Spirit comes as rain in the desert to dry skin and bones. Carrying the cross, I am led to settle in the land of bounty. Jesus provides a place for this poor soul.
Do not let the journey through the desert wear me out, for it is the Almighty that leads me. Pour your rain on my soul. Shake the earth. Drop the mountains and hills. Raise the valleys. Make my way straight as you lead me to your promised land.
