Get out or Arise

Joshua 1

For Abraham to get to where the Lord wanted him to be there was a need for Abraham to get out. Genesis 12:1, ÒNow the LORD had said to Abram; ÔGet out of your country, from your family and from your fatherÕs house to a land I will show you.ÕÓ To get going with the Lord there was a need for him to get out of his comfort zone. For Joshua to lead the children of < ?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>Israel to the promise land there was a need for him to rise and go over the Jordan. Joshua 1:2, ÒMoses My servant is dead. Now therefore, arise, go over this Jordan, you and all this people, to the land which I am giving to them-the children of Israel.Ó Whatever God says He will do, He has already been done by the time He calls you. The only reason why it could be taken from you is when you refuse to get out of your comfort zone or when you refuse to rise and go. There was a need for Abram to get out before getting into the promise of God; also, there was a need for Joshua to rise and go for the manifestation of GodÕs promise. What are you waiting for? What is keeping you grounded from rising and getting into His calling for your life? God has a plan and purpose for your life and that is why you are alive today. When God sends you He will back you up and He shall perform all that He has sent you for. Before Joshua answered GodÕs calling, God had already completed the mission on behalf of Joshua. Joshua 1:3, ÒEvery place that the sole of your feet will tread upon I have given you as I said to Moses.Ó What else do you need before you answer His call? If He has called you, get out, arise and go, and He will back you up.
