A Way Out Of No Way

Then Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and the Lord drove the sea back by a strong east wind all night and made the sea dry land, and the waters were divided. And the people of Israel went into the midst of the sea on dry ground, the waters being a wall to them on their right hand and on their left.
Exodus 14:21-22

The winds blew all night and the people didn't walk across until morning. God will make a way for you in advance; in preparation of your coming. You can't see it because like the wind, the hand of God is invisible. But you know that it's there when you see the results. A way made out of no way.

Destitution

We learn to welcome the patience of Jesus only when we get to the point of human destitution. It is not that God will not do anything for us until we get there but that he cannot. That can do nothing for me if I am sufficient for myself.

Revelation over Education

always learning and never able to arrive at a knowledge of the truth
2 Tim 3:7

There are a lot of Christians to whom this applies. Those who focus on book knowledge and education which is a good thing but completely ignore spiritual knowledge and revelation which is a better thing. We should seek the Kingdom and trust God to take care of the rest. Your intellect will not save you.
