Once we step up, sometimes we feel like we are going through a terrible battle with fear and we want to turn back to go into our comfortable zone again. But when we turned to look back, we realized that everything is dark, the door is shut, we are trapped! So we have stay on the straight path and fix our eyes onto the light and keep moving forward!
With fear, Ahab decided to go another way around, he tried to avoid the fact that 'Israel are like a scattered sheep that have no shepherd' by disguising himself to avoid the death! Ahab said, "I will disguise myself and go into battle, but you wear your robes." So he went into the battle. 'But a certain man drew his bow at random and struck the king of Israel [Ahab] between the scale armor and the breastplate.' So he died even thought he tried to go another way around! God's words always remain true! There is no another way around, except to listen and obey.
Abraham once tried to get another way around by sleeping with his servant Hagar to give a birth to Ishmael, it is what the most called a "Plan B". Yeah it is another way around, but the "Plan A" always exist, for His promise never fail! So the "Plan A" arrived when Sarah finally conceived Issac, and Hagar and Ishmael had to leave.
Why should we try to escape His plan when we are going through the seasons when there is no escape, keep moving forward!
