God’s Great Relocation Project
“Then Caleb silenced the
people before Moses and said, ‘We should go up and take possession of the land,
for we can certainly do it.’” Numbers
13:30
God is in the moving business. He is always in the process of moving His
people. Although we are often content
where we are, God loves us enough not to leave us there. Sometimes we can get a little stubborn about
changes that He has in mind for us.
A good illustration is found in the children of Israel
as they were moving from Egypt to the Promised Land. God sent miracle after miracle to get them
out. But then, they did not want to go
on in and possess what He intended for them.
In fact, they said in Numbers 14:3, “…Wouldn’t it be better for us to go back to Egypt?” It seems God could take His people out of
Egypt, but His people couldn’t leave Egypt behind.
The old song says,
“I have decided to follow Jesus – No turning back, no turning
back.” Paul says in Philippians 1:6, “Being confident of this, that He who began
a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ
Jesus.” God has begun a spiritual
project for His people of Fredericksburg Wesleyan Church. May we take heed of the lesson we learn from
the children of Israel going to the Promised Land. May we be wise enough to realize that God
began this great project, and He will continue this work until completion.
Prayer Focus: Pray that God
will continue to lead the way and that our faith will remain strong as we
continue with this vision He has given our church. Thank the Lord for loving you enough not to
leave you where you are. Also thank Him
for the privilege of being a part of this church body of believers during this exciting
time in our history.
