Quote:
The biblical story abounds with instances of people being torn loose
from their moorings, from a settled existence, and discovering that
God is present in the situation...these crises are times of judgement.
In fact, the word crisis in the Greek means precisely that. In other
words, transition times are times in which God calls our old ways of
living and looking at things into question, calls us to move beyond
them...these very same times can be times of blessing. Those who
do press on, who are willing to leave the old behind, experience God's
healing, redeeming, resurrecting power. ~ John and Adrienne Carr

2 Kings 8:1-2 NASB
Now Elisha spoke to the woman whose son he had restored to life,
saying, "Arise and go with your household, and sojourn wherever you
can sojourn; for the LORD has called
for a famine, and it will even come on the land for seven
years." So the woman arose and did according to the word
of the man of God, and she went with her household and
sojourned in the land of the Philistines seven years.

Prayer:
My Lord,
Thank you for tearing me loose from my comfortable moorings so that
I question my old ways of living and looking at things. Sometimes it
takes an uncomfortable jolt to get my attention yet these are times
of blessing. Amen.
