\"Exodus-2\"<\/a>Most of us have seen some movies or war scenes where people have gotten caught in a minefield.\u00a0 Some reading this may have realistically found themselves in harm\u2019s way, and we thank you for your service.\u00a0 A minefield works because of the fact that they are hidden from view.\u00a0 The ground is made to look like it has not been disturbed.\u00a0 The planter of the mines wants you to think your next step is as safe as your last step. They work because we become secure in our actions, and we forget to look to our lead Angel.\u00a0 This chapter describes life as a minefield.\u00a0 God is gracious enough to send an Angel.\u00a0 God makes a statement pointing to the pre-incarnation of Christ in verse 21 \u201cMy name is<\/em> in Him.\u201d\u00a0 His authority is in this messenger sent to lead the children of Israel.\u00a0 We are given God\u2019s Word, God\u2019s Spirit, and the very Christ to lead us through the dangers hidden in life.\u00a0 Obey Christ, and find victory is the simple message.\u00a0 Serve Christ, and find a blessed life with physical necessities being met.\u00a0 God will put fear in our enemies so that they will not come after us.\u00a0 Each day we have victories simply because Christ kept us from a battle.\u00a0 The enemy forfeited, and we scored another victory.<\/p>\n

To walk with Christ should not be difficult.\u00a0 It would not be difficult if it wasn\u2019t for the pride of the flesh. Our flesh calls us to follow a different path thinking it will work out ok.\u00a0 Do we want \u201cOK\u201d, or do we want the miraculous?\u00a0 Do we want to narrowly escape the enemy, or find victory?\u00a0 Every day we must deny ourselves, take up our cross and follow Jesus.\u00a0 Christ goes before us.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"excerpt","protected":false},"author":1167,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"episode_type":"","audio_file":"","cover_image":"","cover_image_id":"","duration":"","filesize":"","date_recorded":"","explicit":"","block":"","itunes_episode_number":"","itunes_title":"","itunes_season_number":"","itunes_episode_type":"","filesize_raw":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[23],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4356","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-bible-reading"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_likes_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mbcnewhaven.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4356","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mbcnewhaven.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mbcnewhaven.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mbcnewhaven.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1167"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mbcnewhaven.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=4356"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/mbcnewhaven.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4356\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4357,"href":"https:\/\/mbcnewhaven.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4356\/revisions\/4357"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mbcnewhaven.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=4356"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mbcnewhaven.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=4356"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mbcnewhaven.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=4356"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
