Invariably the power of God followed such action. The miracle of God went when and where His people went. It stayed when His people stopped. The static periods were those times when the people of God tired of the struggle and sought a life of peace and security. They busied themselves trying to conserve the gains made in those more daring times when the power of God moved among them.
Bible history is replete with examples.
Revelations, theophanies, the gift of Palestine, covenants and promises of rich blessings to come were the result . Then Israel went down into Egypt, and the wonders ceased for four hundred years. At the end of that time Moses heard the call of God and stepped forth to challenge the oppressor. A whirlwind of power accompanied that challenge, and Israel soon began to march. As long as she dared to march God sent our His miracles to clear the way for her.
