Then the LORD said to Moses, “Why are you crying out to Me? Tell the sons of Israel to go forward” (Ex 14:15). “Why are you praying and not acting?” Praying cannot substitute for obedience. Piety cannot take the place of action. There is a time that we must move beyond prayer and Bible study and get on with the mission. Look out the window from your Bible study and see the hungry, the helpless and the hurting. Do not close the curtain. See the lonely, the desperate and the lost. Arise from your knees, get on your feet and get going.
