Fireproof

Joshua son of Nun and Caleb son of Jephunneh, who were among those who had explored the land, tore their clothes and said to the entire Israelite assembly, "The land we passed through and explored is exceedingly good. If the Lord is pleased with us, he will lead us into that land, a land flowing with milk and honey, and He will give it to us. Only do not rebel against the Lord. And do not be afraid of the people of the land, because we will swallow them up. Their protection is gone, but the Lord is with us. Do not be afraid of them."
Num 14:6-9

Today I was listening to an interview with the producer of "Fireproof". The Interviewer was pushing him to see if a "Fireproof 2" was going to come out next after such success with the first one. The producers reply was that he didn't know and wanted to wait on God. What struck me the most was that he said, "We are not going to go ahead of God, or work behind him. We are going to wait on his timing."

How awesome is that. Not being fearful of waiting on God. But, then moving when he says go. I read this passage about Joshua and Caleb and it convicts me. I mean these Israelite s had it in their hands and they were fearful because it was too big for them. But, these two young men would go against them all and say,Yes, we can. What God has for us is good we just have to trust him.

My prayer tonight is that I would trust him and wait on or act on what he says is good with the same intensity as Joshua and Caleb.
