Stay On The Move

Genesis 12:10

"And there was a famine in the land: and Abram went 

down into Egypt to sojourn there; for the 

famine was grievous in the land."

    God promised Abraham, if he took up the challenge to journey to this new land. God would bless him and make him into a great nation. He would be the recipient of many a blessings. 
    Abraham listened to God’s promises and made the difficult move to an unknown land. And then what happened? He wasn’t there very long and "there was a famine in the land.” Abraham had no choice but to move to Egypt.  What happened to the blessings that God had promised?  Abraham kept his part of the bargain. Why didn’t God keep His?  Now don't that last statement sound familiar. 

    Abraham didn’t know God’s plan. He didn’t know what was really good for him or what was really bad. All he knew was that God had made a promise and that somehow it would be fulfilled. Ultimately, Abraham and Sarah come out of Egypt, completely unharmed, and now, very wealthy. 
    Friends, when life takes us on all sorts of strange twists and turns, let us remember that it’s not we who are driving the car. The Lord Almighty is guiding us, and He knows exactly where we need to be. Sometimes it seems that things aren’t going the way that they should be, but we must have faith that it’s all part of God’s plan. Our job is to stay on the right road and stay on the move, and trust God to take care of the blessings. 

Amen!
