"Leave...go
to the land I will show you." Genesis 12:1 NIV
Let God Show You Where to Go
Where you are matters. You can't grow bananas in
Alaska, but you can grow them in Jamaica. What's the point? Simply this:
sometimes you need to change your location in order to succeed in what God has
called you to do. Look at the life of Elijah. "The word of the Lord came
to him, saying, 'Get away from here and turn eastward, and hide by the Brook
Cherith, which flows into the Jordan. And it will be that you shall drink from
the brook, and I have commanded the ravens to feed you there'" (1 Kings
17:2-4 NKJV). Ravens normally don't deliver food, they eat it. But when you do
what God tells you and go where He sends you, you move from the natural realm
to the supernatural one. God not only has a plan for your life, He has a place
for it. Yes, you must have the right strategy, but you must also be in the right
spot. "I am the Lord your God, who teaches you what is best for you, who
directs you in the way you should go" (Isaiah 48:17 NIV). If your heart's
desire is to honor God in all things, He will show you the best location to
succeed in. Indeed, He will go ahead of you and rearrange circumstances to your
advantage. He did it for Abraham. "By faith Abraham, when called to go to
a place he would later receive as his inheritance, obeyed and went, even though
he did not know where he was going" (Hebrews 11:8 NIV). Ask God, and He
will show you where to go.
