Arise and Go!

2 Kings 8:1(NKJV)

1Then Elisha spoke to the woman whose son he had restored to life, saying, “Arise and go, you and your household, and stay wherever you can; for the Lord has called for a famine, and furthermore, it will come upon the land for seven years.” 

One of the things that is hard for people to get used to is the fact that while God will always meet us where we are at, it doesn't mean that we get to stay there.  I'm speaking both physically as well as spiritually.

From a spiritual standpoint we grow when we seek God through the study of His word and through prayer.  So part of the natural progression of studying God's Word is that we will grow spiritually.  We won't stay in the same place spiritually that we were in when we met God.

But sometimes God let's us know that we have to move on physically as well.  Are you willing to follow God's leading to that degree?  As you can see from the Scripture above, even though God blessed this lady where she was at, He then went on to tell her through the prophet Elisha that she needed to physically move to another area for 7 years.

Just rested assured that God always has our best interest at heart.  If God is telling you to move on in any way, I would suggest that you trust Him and do it!
