God told Moses, \u2018I will make all My goodness pass before you.\u2019<\/i> (Exodus\u00a033:19\u00a0NKJV) But in order to see that promise fulfilled, Moses had to be properly positioned, so God said, \u2018Here is a place by Me.\u2019<\/i> When you function in the place where God has assigned you, you can claim His promise: \u2018I will make all My goodness pass before you.\u2019<\/i> Why would the Prodigal Son leave his father\u2019s house when everything he needed was there? Because: <\/p>\n
(1) He wanted his father\u2019s blessing, but not his oversight.<\/i> Jesus said, \u2018Why do you call Me, \u201cLord, Lord,\u201d and do not do what I say?\u2019<\/i> (Luke\u00a06:46\u00a0NIV) Why indeed! Peter Marshall, former chaplain to the US Senate, once prayed: \u2018Lord, help us to apply what we applaud.\u2019 <\/p>\n
(2) He took his father\u2019s blessings for granted.<\/i> God warned the Israelites: \u2018Be careful that you do not forget the Lord, who brought you\u2026 out of the land of slavery.\u2019<\/i> (Deuteronomy\u00a06:12\u00a0NIV) When they crossed the river Jordan, He told them to take twelve stones, one for each tribe, and build a memorial. Why? To remind them of who they<\/i> were, who He<\/i> was, and His covenant with them. <\/p>\n
(3) He didn\u2019t know the danger waiting for him.<\/i> As a result, he ended up in a pigpen. The path that takes you away from God may begin with pleasure, but it always ends with pain. Ask those who have walked it, and they\u2019ll tell you, \u2018Don\u2019t go there!\u2019 <\/p>\n
Live by this Scripture: \u2018He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.\u2019<\/i> (Psalm\u00a091:1\u00a0NKJV) Stay positioned for God\u2019s blessing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
