Just keep moving! It is a very motivating sentence that will definitely cause our feet to rise, move and go. When life beats down on me and I get to the place where I really want to hide in a cave of safety, I observe that God usually places people around me who could surely prod me into moving in the right direction. I have learned tha God never wants me to remain in the place of despair and discouragement and He never please to see me keep myself in the stonghold of safety.

I remember what God had said to David when he was trying to flee from Saul.
“Do not stay in the stronghold. Go into the land of Judah”… - 1 Samuel 22:5 . In the story,
David and his company tried to hide in the cave of Adullam. David was content to stay in the safe cave. Then, God’s prophet came to David and told him that he must leave the stronghold of a safe cave and go into the land of Judah. There we are, God wants us to move into the land of Judah which means “praise. He wanted us to move from the land of discouragement to the land of “praise”.

All through my life from childhood until now that I am already a growing adult I used to go through a very difficult time. I seemed to drag on and on with no change until finally I wanted to retreat to a cave and forget to press on. It was a great time of discouragement. Then gentle voice told me “You must keep moving! There are too many around you who are looking at you and they felt being inspired of the joy and strength that exude out of you.” I didn’t totally understand what the voice was actually telling me at the time.

Eventually, I had realized that God intends to prepare each of us to be the vessel He wants to use in the life of another person, but we will never be that kind of vessel if we give up and hide in our cave of discouragement. God does not only require us to keep moving but we must move into a new realm. We must have the attitude that will make us move from discouragement to praise. We will surely begin living above our problems when we are able to move past discouragement to praise. Make a decision today to go into the land of Judah. Praise the Lord and just keep moving.
