“When we were at Mount Sinai, the Lord our God said to us, ‘You have stayed at this mountain long enough. It is time to break camp and move on. (Deuteronomy 1:6-7 NLT)
- There is a time to be at the Mountain of the Lord.
- There is definitely a time to be in His presence to learn and mature.
- There is a time to fill up on His presence and grow in wisdom!
- But there is also a time to go!
- There is a time of staying, where you know it’s “long enough.”
- It’s long enough, being in one place surrounded by the same people and the same influences.
- It’s long enough thinking about “action” until you actually have to act.
- The filling up is for a purpose.
- We love the times of staying at the mountain and recieving from the Lord but we can never forget that, that has a purpose.
- God did not create you to be a spiritual glutton, filling up on one message after another and never releasing it.
- Ecclesiastes 3: 1 -2 says, “For everything there is a season a time for every activity under heaven. A time to be born and a time to die. A time to plant and a time to harvest.”
- Just as there was a time to be at the mountain of the Lord, there was also a time to break camp and move on!
- There is a time to give and a time to pour into others.
- There is a time to serve!
- Today, ask yourself the question, “Have I been pouring into anyone else?”
- Ask yourself if you have been giving?
- Jesus created you to be a disciple. A disciple’s job is to disciple others.
- Jesus says, in Matthew 28:19, “Go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.”
- You cannot go and stay at the same time.
- We must Go.
- We must share.
- We must spread the love of Jesus and disciple others.
- It’s not called the great suggestion, it’s called the great commission.
- Step outside your comfort zone and use what you’ve got, to touch the life of someone else.
- It could be a kind word or a kind action but simply start somewhere and do something.
- When you do, you will realize the meaning of Acts 20:35, when it says, ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.”
- Today, don’t stay, Go!
- Have a great Thursday!
