New Horizons...

Most people appreciate stability and consistency in their lives. But what if God looks at us more like pioneers than settlers? What if we are called to be on the move?
“Back at Horeb, God spoke to us: ‘you’ve stayed long enough at this mountain. On your way now, get moving. Head for the Amorite hills, the Canaanite country all the way to the Euphrates. Look, I’ve given you this land’.” ~Deut. 1:6-7
It’s true that God seems to applaud movement through the ages. Remember how the people in Genesis wanted to build a tower and settle the population in the valley. But God intervened and mixed up their languages so they scattered to find their own people groups. After all, His instructions to mankind through the ages was for them to fill the earth and multiply. That means movement. The study of human migration over the centuries is a very interesting one. In the 1800’s there was a major migration from the Northern hemisphere to the South. And God used it greatly to spread the gospel to the Southern continents. Now in this century there is a major migration from the South back to the North. Once again we are beginning to see how that movement has some spiritual designs. Even if we aren’t moving to new towns, God has some movement plans for us. He looks at His people and His churches and calls them to take His gospel to some overlooked places. We are created for vision and we’re at our best when we are pursuing NEW HORIZONS? ~Verlon
