Get Moving

“Then the Lord said to us, Get moving” appears twice in Deuteronomy 2; it made me pause and think. In Deuteronomy, God tells His people to move forward in obedience and trust. When I consider this alongside the New Testament, I see a connection: just as God called the Israelites into action, we too are called to respond. In 2 Corinthians 4:4, Paul tells us that Satan is the god of this world and has blinded the minds of unbelievers.

‘Satan, who is the god of this world, has blinded the minds of those who don’t believe. They are unable to see the glorious light of the Good News. They don’t understand this message about the glory of Christ, who is the exact likeness of God. ‘
2 Corinthians 4:4

This made me think of the disciples who couldn’t cast out a stubborn demon in Mark 9. And I wondered, who do I need to pray and fast for that might be blinded by the enemy? I need to get moving and take action for the people on my prayer list who might be spiritually blinded.
