And Terah took Abram his son, Lot the son of Haran, his grandson, and Sarai his daughter-in-law, his son Abram’s wife, and they went forth together to go from Ur of the Chaldees into the land of Canaan; but when they came to Haran, they settled there.
God gave Abram’s father an opportunity to go to the place of His blessing—Canaan. But instead of going all the way with the Lord, he chose to stop and settle in Haran. Many believers do what Terah did. They start out for one place and settle somewhere else along the way.
It is easy to get excited when God first directs you to do something. But many times, you never finish what you start because the road gets difficult. It would be nice to reap the benefits of the journey without actually having to leave your comfort zone, but it doesn’t work that way. To receive your blessing, you must be willing to push on through to the finish.
Prayer of the Day: Thank You, Father, that You give me the strength to never stop when I need to keep going. I am grateful that You are always with me and that You fight my battles, no matter how tough things get or how far out of my comfort zone I find myself, amen.
