After Lot separated from him, God said to Abram, “Open your eyes, look around. Look north, south, east, and west. Everything you see, the whole land spread out before you, I will give to you and your children forever. I’ll make your descendants like dust—counting your descendants will be as impossible as counting the dust of the Earth. So—on your feet, get moving! Walk through the country, its length and breadth; I’m giving it all to you.”
– Genesis 13: 13-14
I love how God always waits for just the right time – for our lives to be clear of "anchors" and bad influences – to position us for His next Promise. It usually comes after we have gone through a difficult struggle or when we get to a point in our walk where we are free from familiar distractions, or when we remove bad influences from our lives, or when we are willing to let go of the past. That's when God says "Now!" and He gives us our marching orders.
It means separating ourselves from old "friends" or from toxic relationships so that Peace can enter our lives. It's never easy severing the ties that took years to establish, but when those ties turn into tourniquets and start choking the life out of us, the difficult choice needs to be made.
That's when God says "Hey! I've got your back! I have plans that'r gonna knock your socks off! I'm gonna bless you and as a result, your blessings are gonna overflow to everyone you know."
"But ..."
God always requires a move from us. In order for us to realize His Promise, we need to Get Up, Dust Off, and Get Moving. We need to have Faith – to BELIEVE – and then "Go" without knowing the details or the outcome. We need to Trust – no matter how uncertain or how scared we are – because it's in the Moving that miracles happen. It's when we Act, in complete faith and confidence, that God moves mountains and orchestrates the symphony of Blessings on our behalf.
Are you being weighed down by a bad relationship? Are there toxic "friendships" that you really need to put behind you? If so, it's time to give them up (graciously). Bless them and then send them on their way. Then ...when God whispers His instructions for the next season of your life ...Get Up ...Dust Off ...and Get Moving!
God has your back and He holds your future in the palm of His hand. He'll clear the path for you to succeed and to thrive in your life.
God's Blessing and Promise is waiting for you ...are you ready to get your socks knocked off?
Blessings my Brothers and Sisters!
