Coming Out In Order To Go In

This is one of my favorite scriptures. "And He brought us out from there in order to bring us in, to give us the land which He had sworn to our fathers." (Deuteronomy 6:23, NAS)

If there is going to be movement in the direction God wants to take us in, then there will be a coming out or away from something. God will bring us out of situations that hold us in bondage or are toxic to us. Even though that journey may be very painful and we may not understand. When we cling to him through the journey we will end up taking the quickest route into what he has for us. And he will bring us into the fullness of our destiny. Into the fullness of his goodness. Into closer relationship with him, doing what he built us for. And doing it with him and not just for him.

I invite you to pray with me. Lord, I agree with you to come out of everything that is not of you, that keeps me in bondage, that tears me down, and holds me back from your promises. I agree to go forward with you into the fullness of the destiny you have for me. Please help me along the journey to not give up when it's hard but to cling to you always. Thank you that you will never leave me nor forsake me. Thank you, God, for bringing me out in order to take me in!
