Topic: Move On To Actualize Your Dream
Text: Deuteronomy 1:1 – 8
The first part of
Moses' farewell sermon to Israel begins with this chapter, and is continued to
the latter end of the fourth chapter. Moses began his admonition (v5) by
reminding them of God’s promises concerning Canaan (v 6 – 8). The people of
Israel spent about a year on mount Horeb, the mountain that burned with fire
(compare Hebrew 11:18). There God spoke to Moses that the people have stayed so
much and should move on. They seem to be comfortable at that mountain but God
told them to leave that comfort zone. No one can achieve much when he/she is in
the comfort zone. You need to move out of your comfort zone to improve
yourself, take more challenges and attain a new height.
Many of us are
stagnant in our faith and spiritual lives. Some are comfortable being in the
church without any commitment attached to it in terms of winning souls for
Christ. Are you satisfied with what you are now? Are there no rooms for
improvement in your life and career? If there are, then you should move on. Don’t
sit in a place because of troubles of life that seem to have brought you to a
standstill. It is time to move on. Are you mourning loss of a friend, a spouse,
a parent, a benefactor or a child? It is time to move on. Dust yourself for
there are better things ahead as there was Promised Land ahead of the
Israelites. Sing A&M 331; Abu 109
Food for Thought: No one ever
achieved much in a comfort zone.
Memory verse: Deuteronomy 1:7
Prayer:
Lord, strengthen me to move in life not minding the troubles and challenges
that have come my way in Jesus name.
