Hey Family! There is a passage of scripture that has been encouraging me this week that I would like to share with you. [Deuteronomy 6:23 KJV]
23 And he brought us out from thence, that he might bring us in, to give us the land which he sware unto our fathers.
This has been repeating in my mind this week: He brought you out, to bring you in. The reason why this has encouraged me so much is because so often I’ve felt like the Father has left me in the middle. Have you ever felt like that? But this passage reminds me that there is purpose in the middle and that purpose is never for the Father to leave you there. Here he is speaking to the Children of Israel and reminding them that He brought them out of Egypt (their place of bondage), to bring them into the promise. He did NOT bring them out to starve them in the wilderness. He did NOT bring them out to kill them in the desert. He did NOT bring them out to allow others to get ahead of them. He brought them out of Egypt so that they could enter into the promise. This teaches me that the Father has removed me from my ‘Egypt’ so that I can enter into the promise. No matter how challenging it gets in the middle, I can be ASSURED that the entire purpose for me being out here is because he is taking me into the promise. And I truly believe that this is true for your life as well. He did NOT bring you out of your bondage for sickness and disease to overtake you! He did NOT bring you out of your bondage for lack to overtake you! He did NOT bring you out of your bondage for the enemy to rule over you! He did NOT bring you out of your bondage to leave you in confusion! He did NOT bring you out of your bondage so you could go back to it eventually! NO! The Father brought you out so that He could bring you into the promise HE has for you! So let’s not quit in the middle. Let’s keep moving forward with the faith (powered by our belief) that our Father has a purpose and the end of it is the promise He has always had for us. This week I hope that this scripture replays continually in your mind: “That He brought you out, to bring you in!” And that it motivates you to keep going, especially when things feel the most challenging. There is a purpose in all of it. And the purpose has you on the perfect path to your promise! Remember: The Father Loves You, Let Him Love You! Talk soon, Phillip G. P.S.
