“The LORD had said to Abram, “Go from your country,
your people and your father’s household to the land I will show you.”
Genesis 12:1
Sometimes God will re-position an individual or a
church to better fulfill His purposes. All through his life we see Abraham
being tested by God concerning his faith. The first test Abram faced was a
re-positioning. We read of it in the verse above. God had a purpose in
re-positioning Abraham and stated it, in part,
in verses 2 and 3 of that same chapter where we read:
“I will make you into a great nation, and I will bless
you; I will make your name great, and you will be a blessing. I will bless
those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse; and all peoples on
earth will be blessed through you.”
In those verses God did not reveal all the details
concerning the Messiah coming through the lineage of Abraham. We read and
understand it now Abram had to agree to be re-positioned by faith, that is,
without all the ‘dots connected’. God does not change. He still reveals only a
portion to us as we are re-positioned for His purposes. It still requires faith
on our part to agree. Elijah was re-positioned to be fed by ravens; Jeremiah
was re-positioned to rebuild the walls and even God “re-positioned” His son
when the “…word became flesh and dwelt among us…” When God begins to
re-position you understand that He does it to better fulfill His purposes for
your life. He may not (He probably won’t) fill in all the blanks because it
still requires faith to please Him!
Allow Him to re-position you for His purposes.
Tell Him today you are willing…
