where I show you...

Many have a glimpse of where they want to go, even before they get there...

Abram was told by God to go to a land He would show him.
Later after he become Abraham and life had continued its due course, God showed him the land his descendants would inherit.

Throughout scripture are recorded people who saw something from God and then went. It was like they had a vision or a glimpse, and that vision or glimpse gave them direction, gave them the necessary motivation to take steps forward.

Maybe it should be no surprise to us that our journey is similar?
Both as individuals and as a Church.
We are moving as a Church family into a new facility (new to us) that is ironically shaped like a tent. Something many of these people all had in common was their journey involved tents. They didn't all live in palaces and permanent locales. They were people on the move.
They were people like us looking in faith to the future God has for us.
Over the last 2 years we used this new location as a temporary meeting place when our normal facilities weren't available. We had a glimpse of what God might be bringing us into and now we are there.

Can I take this even further?
After Sunday night and the huge Easter celebration that ensued, many close to me actually said the same thing. Along the lines of "this may be one night, but we are looking forward to this every week". It was like they had a glimpse of the future and God was drawing them excitedly towards it?

What has God maybe shown you about yours and our future?
Have you had a vision or a glimpse?
Abram was simply being faithful to God when He got his. He wasn't stressing and straining over it!

We are going where God shows us - for us there simply is no other way...

Something to think about...
