"The Lord had said to Abram, 'Go from your country, your people and your father's household to the land I will show you. I will make you into a great nation, and I will bless you; I will make your name great and you will be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse; and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you.'" -Genesis 12:1-3 (NIV)
When I finished college, I embarked on a journey that took me away from my childhood home. I felt ready to move and follow dreams and opportunities. There were and are times when I miss the familiar surroundings of where I grew up. However, I have been blessed and over time God has made me "great" in so many ways for the betterment of His kingdom.
Just like God told Abram to move from his country and his family (Genesis 12:1-3), God sometimes leads us away from places. Some moves may be easy for us to make and some may be more difficult. We may not always know why we are being called to move, but He certainly has a plan for our lives.
Moves may cause us to undergo changes - just look at Abraham (Genesis 17:5)! As we are called to move, we should trust in God to guide us, provide for us, and bless us through all of the changes. In His time, He will make each of us great for the glory of His Kingdom.
Listen to God. Move when He asks. Allow Him to shape you. Accept His blessing and be great in order to expand His Kingdom!
Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for Your plan for my life. Thank You for placing me where I need to be so that I can help further Your kingdom. Continue to use me for Your purposes, which are greater than I could have imagined. Through Jesus I pray, amen.
