Good Morning Sunshine! It’s Time To Move Out!

Deuteronomy 1:6,8 NIV ~ “The LORD our God said to us at Horeb, “You have stayed long enough at this mountain. [8] See, I have given you this land. Go in and take possession of the land the LORD swore he would give to your fathers-to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob-and to their descendants after them.”

It’s Time to Move Out! You’ve Been Here Long Enough!

The Israelites were almost finished their 40 years of wandering in the wilderness and the new generation was getting prepared to enter into the promised land. While the Israelites were at Horeb, God spoke to them and said it was time to move! He commanded them to go to the place that was promised to them, it’s where their future is. Moses told them about what had happened earlier, as a warning so that they would not to repeat the same mistakes. He reminded them that God has spoken and what He expects from them after He had spoken!

Have you ever heard the saying, “you can lead the horse to the water, but you can’t make him drink it.” Well God had prepared the land and set it before them (you) for their taking, but they still had to take possession of the promise (you too, you have to take possession of what He put in front of you, He has put it there, but you have to get it)!  It’s just like us, we get comfortable in a place, and we just settle thinking that’s all there is, we start to enjoy our own place of Horeb.  Mount Horeb is a place of instruction, the place where you are being prepared to do what God has called you to do. It’s not the place where you are to settle in as your permanent place, Mount Horeb is a temporary place, remember that!

Mount Horeb, is not the only place that God has for you! This was your place of transition, to move from where you use to be, to where you are going! It’s your transformation place, I know that you are enjoying where you are, but the time has come for you to move out and up! And in this new place you must do what God tells you to do, period! (Deuteronomy 12:1)!

Don’t you feel the pulling and tugging of the shift? This is your time; God has been preparing you all along the way so that you would be ready when the time came! It’s the Word of God, that you are hearing, telling you, it’s time, time for you to move out? And as it is with any journey, there will be risks. Yes, you will have to move outside of your comfort zone, you will have to say goodbye to some relationships in order to form new ones, you will have to do some new things, differently from what you have been used to doing. It’s time to stop watching what others are doing and watch what God is doing! And know this that with every risk, there will be great rewards!  It’s when you leave Mount Horeb that you come move into the Promise Land, the place of peace and promises! I believe that the God is speaking to you and me and saying that Now Is The Time! It is time that to go up and possess your Promise Land.

Let’s Pray:
Father Thank You! Father, I ask that Your steadfast love would be upon me this today according to Your promise. Father, please don’t take Your Word of truth from my lips, for I know that all of my hope is found and fulfilled in You. Father, forgive me for not listening to what You revealed to me the first time. Father I cherish Your revelation and the Words that You have spoken to me. Father, help me to keep Your commands as I continue walking in Your Will and Way in all the areas of my life. Father, grant this now as I turn to Your Word and follow them all the days of my life.  Father, cause me to never to be comfortable in a temporary place but to always be alert and to listen to Your voice as You speak. Father, thank You for keeping me and helping me not to make another round in this same place, and I receive my new place of now! In the Name of Jesus Christ. Amen!

Blessings…
