Reading portion: Deuteronomy ch 2:1 to 3

¹ "Then we turned and journeyed into the wilderness of the Way of the Red Sea, as the LORD spoke to me, and we skirted Mount Seir for many days.
² "And the LORD spoke to me, saying:  ³ "You have skirted this mountain long enough; turn northward”

1. Look behind our past life

When we examine our  life, we will be amazed to see our wonderfully our God us carried us through in the past years. Thank and Praise God for that.

2. Look up towards God

When we see His glory , we will be able to humble ourselves before him. From the life’s of Peter , Job, Paul  etc we can see how humble they were. 

3. Look forward/ahead

In the days to come we should look forward and progress in our  life. The Israelites on their way to Canaan from Egypt took almost thirty eight years to reach Canaan. They kept skirting around the Mount Seir without any progress and in the end the Almighty is telling them to stop and go ahead towards north.

In the same way, many of us who were born again for many years are still not progressing. We are spiritually behind. Its high time that we examine our lives and move ahead spiritually. Grow up more spiritually in the days to come.
