There comes a point in your walk with God when staying in the same place—spiritually, mentally, or even physically—can become disobedience. God told Moses to move on because Israel had remained at Mount Horeb too long. Though God had promised them a land flowing with milk and honey, they settled for Horeb instead. Horeb had become a place of comfort and honour, but it represented frozen success.
God often disrupts our settled places because He is preparing us for greater territory. As we move closer to the end of this Year of Strange Oil, know with certainty that God specialises in doing new things. New pathways are being forged to usher new beginnings into your life. Don’t fear the giants ahead. Be strong and courageous, and you will have good success.
