Scripture of the day: Genesis 15:7
He [God] said to him [Abram], "I am the LORD, who brought you out of Ur of the Chaldeans to give you this land to take possession of it."
Are you wondering what in the world I am going to do with that verse?! At first it may not seem pertinent to you...but it is!
I am in the throws of another Beth Moore Bible Study and today a concept of that verse hit home. Take the verse and make it yours. "I am the LORD, who brought _____ (insert your name) out of ______ to give you ______."
God doesn't change...but he changes things in the lives of people all the time! The wonderful thing is that he will never take you OUT of someplace without bringing you TO another place. The journey may be long and on paths you cannot see...but the journey always ends at a place that God had in mind for you. Sisters, let us not forget that!
The neat thing about the fill in the blank above is that you can apply it to spiritual parts of your life, not just physical location. As a personal example, "I am the LORD who brought you out of a life of sin to give you faith in Jesus Christ. I promise you that place He took me from is NOT a place I would like to return to! Can you think of a gift in your life from God that has replaced something not-so-good? Perhaps hope instead of despair? Praise instead of mourning? I hope you have experienced a journey like that!
God intends for us to never stop growing. And sometimes to do that, we have to be taken out of a safe place and brought to a new place that seems very frightening. And other times we need to be brought out of a bad place so we can be open to arriving a new, good, place.
Regardless of the journey you are on, I pray you are wiling to see it through to the end and that you see God with you during every stop along the way. He is there...perhaps only as a whisper, but he is there all the same!
