Past Miracle and Future Grace

Looking at what need to go through to arrive here,
Looking at what happens around Jerusalem where I am working,
Looking at the people that work in the temple built by Herod,
Looking at the unknown of the future,
Looking at what happens to other people,
The voice keeps screaming in my heart,
That I have chose the wrong path,
That I have chose the wrong profession.

But the blessings that was poured out in Nazareth,
The miracles that was performed at Mount Olive,
The fish that was drawn up from the Sea of Galilee,
The Scripture, stories, accounts that were heard in the synagogue,
The Great I AM that I met at the land of Galilee under that blue sky,

Told me that,
"No, it is not a mistake."
"No, it is not by chance."
"No, it is not out of my sovereign control."
"No, you are not on the wrong path."
"Yes, it is my degree will."
"Yes, my will will be done, on earth as in heaven."

He says,
"Therefore...... 
Slaves, obey your earthly masters with respect and fear, 
and with sincerity of heart, just as you would obey Christ. 
Obey them not only to win their favor when their eye is on you, 
but like slaves of Christ, doing the will of God from your heart. 
Serve wholeheartedly, as if you were serving the Lord, not men, 
because you know that the Lord will reward everyone for whatever good he does, 
whether he is slave or free."
(Ephesians 6:5-8)

 The past miracle happened at the Red Sea 
to deliver us from Egypt - the land of slavery, 
gives assurance to us to trust in the future grace 
that will be poured out at the Jordan River, 
to deliver us to Canaan - the land of promise.
