TURN AND SEE< ?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>

Deuteronomy 1:1-19

God had a plan for the children of < ?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>Israel when He took them out of the bondage of over 400 years. God was taking them to the Promised Land while they were taking their time away from getting to the Promised Land. In Horeb, they dwelt longer more than they should. Dwelling in Horeb took away from moving forward in direction of the promise, plan and purpose of God. As a result of dwelling when they were suppose to be moving in the direction of GodÕs plan, God spoke to them concerning their stagnation. Deuteronomy 1:6, ÒThe LORD our God spoke to us in Horeb, saying: ÔYou have dwelt long enough at this mountain.Ó Are you experiencing any stagnation in the journey that is before you? As a believer, you know that the hand of God has come into place to move you forward, but you are just like the children of Israel at Horeb. What is causing you not to move forward? Have you been staying too long not to recognize the fact that you are not moving forward? The God that called you out of bondage did not design for you to take a passage as your dwelling ground. God said to the children of Israel in Deuteronomy 1:7-8, ÒTurn and take your journey, and go to the mountains of the Amorites, to all the neighboring places in the plain, in the mountains and in the lowland, in the South and on the seacoast, to the land of the Canaanites and to Lebanon, as far as the great river, the River Euphrates. 8 See, I have set the land before you; go in and possess the land which the LORD swore to your fathersÑto Abraham, Isaac, and JacobÑto give to them and their descendants after them.Ó God told them to turn and take their journey which they had left behind. He also asked them to see what was in place for them. Faith demands that you turn while trusting in God for the move of His hand concerning your stagnation. Faith also demands that you see the promise of God when is yet to be unfolded. Ask God for the grace to be able to turn and to see based on your faith in Him. Today, take the Word that moved the children of Israel and let it move you forward.
