I saw a painting whilst on holidays with a bridge in it. As the lady was telling me what the painting would remind me of, the words it is time to cross the bridge resounded within me. God is speaking to some of us telling us that the time has come for us to cross the bridge. Behind us is the wilderness - a place of provision and obedience but up ahead is the promise from God. It is time to move.
Who are you trusting in? Is it your job, your career, your spouse, money or God. God wants us to trust in Him. To take the time to come and hide in Him a while.

Deborah is the only woman judge recorded in the Bible. She was a wife, mother, prophetess and courageous. She went to war when that wasn’t the accepted thing. She sat under a palm tree positioned by God in the place between the seat of idolatry and the house of prayer. She sounds like a hero and yes she’s mine but what can we learn from her.
Do you find that sometimes your prayers aren’t answered. Have you ever wondered why? Maybe the reason is that you are speaking your own words and not God’s Word. The Bible states that His Word will always prosper and do the job that it was sent to do.
In this current generation, we have steered away from living a simple life. Our houses have to be filled with stuff, our calendars with activities and our days with busyness. But there are some who have gone back to the simple life. What is that simple life?

So what does the Bible say our lives should be like?
