Your Promise Land Is Coming

Hey friends! I am so glad that I get to have the chance of bringing a word to you today that speaks so loudly on my heart and hopefully it will do the same on yours. I am currently in a transition state in my life right now. You may have read that from my last few blog posts but I want you to know where I am physically at in my life so that you can know that God is speaking this word to my heart today just as much as He is encouraging me to share it with the world. I have seen so many people on my social media feeds lately that seem to be searching, wandering around life and wondering what comes next in their stories. With the current situation of our nation, we are kind of in a limbo phase of still being super restrictive because of COVID and in the process of opening back up and having life return back to “normal”, whatever that means anymore. Life just seems to be really hard and it has for the past year now.

Stress levels seem to be at an all time high and the levels of anxiety are only heightened with the comparison that people are doing with others in their journey. I have been doing a lot…. and I mean A LOT of praying lately for my own specific path that God wants me to walk in life and praying that I am obedient enough to follow Him through the trials of life no matter what may be in my way. If I didn’t have my faith in Jesus and His ability to walk with me through every storm and fire I am facing, I don’t know what I would do with my life. My sanity would for sure be a lot closer to being lost. But, Jesus is the anchor for my soul and right now, I am tethering myself to His word and His promises in scripture.

That brings me to the scripture that I have to share with you today and a word that I believe God has for so many of us.

“¹⁰ For the land you are about to enter and take over is not like the land of Egypt from which you came, where you planted your seed and made irrigation ditches with your foot as in a vegetable garden. ¹¹ Rather, the land you will soon take over is a land of hills and valleys with plenty of rain— ¹² a land that the Lord your God cares for. He watches over it through each season of the year!”

Deuteronomy 11: 10-12

I was reading these verses the other night and I grabbed my pen that I use to make notes and I bracketed off that section of scripture. Next to the bracket I wrote “know this is coming for your future”. I read that and instantly knew that this was a scripture that I was supposed to read at exactly such a time as this. You see my friends, the Israelites had to leave a land that they knew and was familiar to them in order to enter into a land that was intended to be so much better that what they had before. The land they were leaving, they were prisoners to and had gotten so used to being prisoners that they forgot what it meant to be in their calling. But God had so much better for them in mind. He had a land and a calling on their lives that HE personally cared for. He had the best intentions for HIS people back during the time of the Israelites being led to their promise land and He has a plan for your life and your promise land too, my friend. You are not alone!

Tonight, I want you to remember that God is and always will be right next to you. It may feel like this is your season of wandering in the wilderness, waiting for God to move you towards your next path but I know what a good, good Father we serve and I know how perfect His timing is. I’m preaching this to myself just as much as I am giving you some encouragement. I have to constantly remind myself of the goodness of God before I let my doubt, anxieties and worry take my mind hostage. This season of life right now is really unknown, but we don’t have to let it be scary if we remind ourselves that “He’s got the whole world in HIS hands”. I’m going to write a short little prayer below for those of you waiting for the next step in your journey called life.

God, thank you so much for everything you’ve already done in my life. As much as I may not understand the reason for things happening in the moment, I know and have seen in the past how you make things so much more beautiful than I could have ever imagined. Right now though, I’m scared. I’m in this season of waiting for the next step in my journey and I’m feeling very uncertain of what all that brings with it. I ask that you comfort my heart and quiet my soul. I ask that you make the path for my future straight and in alignment with where you have called for me to be. Don’t let me take my eyes off of you or your calling for my life, even for a second. Thank you for walking next to me and reassuring my doubts along the way. Thank you for understanding my anxious heart and doing what you can to remind me to trust in you. I am so thankful for all that you have entrusted in my hands so far, Lord. Help me to do what you say is right and to bring as many people to you as I can along the way. I love you and I am so thankful for you. Amen!

As long as you are in alignment with where God is calling you to be my friend, you are on the right path. Keep just putting one foot in front of the other and waiting for the next step to be shown. You can do this. You can do hard things. You are SO loved and SO called to be a world changer. Make sure you listen and ask God to guide you because with His help: you. will. not. fail! I’m rooting for you!! If you need prayer for anything at all, email me or leave me a comment below and I will add your prayers to my list!

~Gracefully,

Kellen~
