Burn The Ships #RTTBROS #Nightlight # Burn the Ships "Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen." - Hebrews 11:1 (KJV) In 1519, Spanish conquistador Hernán Cortés made a bold and irreversible decision upon reaching the shores of Mexico - he ordered his men to burn their ships. This dramatic action left them with only two options: conquer or perish. There was no possibility of retreat, no plan B, no safety net. As believers, we often find ourselves standing on the shores of our own promised land, with one foot in our past and one in God's promise. We keep our "ships" intact - our backup plans, our comfort zones, our old habits - just in case things don't work out as we hoped. But God calls us to complete surrender. Consider Joshua and the Israelites crossing the Jordan River. "And as they that bare the ark were come unto Jordan, and the feet of the priests that bare the ark were dipped in the brim of the water... That the waters which came down from above stood and rose up upon an heap" (Joshua 3:15-16 KJV). They had to step into the water before it parted. Faith required action. Sometimes, our ships represent relationships that pull us back into old sins, habits that keep us bound, or fears that prevent us from fully trusting God. These ships might look like job security that keeps us from stepping into ministry, or worldly comfort that prevents us from giving generously. The Lord declares, "Remember ye not the former things, neither consider the things of old. Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it?" (Isaiah 43:18-19 KJV). God is calling us to radical faith - faith that burns the ships of our past and steps fully into His promise. What ships are you keeping docked at the shore? What safety nets are preventing you from fully surrendering to God's plan? True faith often requires burning those ships - making a decisive break from the old to fully embrace the new life God has for us. Prayer: Heavenly Father, grant me the courage to burn the ships that keep me tethered to my past. Help me trust You completely, knowing that Your promises are greater than any worldly security. Give me the faith to step fully into the plans You have for my life, leaving no room for retreat. In Jesus' name, Amen.
