"When ye see the ark of the covenant of the Lord your God, and the priests the Levites bearing it, then ye shall remove from your place, and go after it." (Joshua 3:3)
I read an article concerning the end of Tiger Woods dominating the sport of golf. In the article, the writer made a profound statement, "But when it's time to change you've got to rearrange." In order to successfully shift with God, the children of Israel had to see the ark of the covenant, which represents God's presence. When the ark moved, they were to move and follow it. I don't know about you, but that was not just relevant for the children of Israel. It applies to my life also. As the writer stated, some form of rearrangement needs to follow to signify the change that is taking place.
Well, here are a few questions I have for you. Are you willing to rearrange some things in your life to prepare for a change? Or is it too inconvenient for you to make those adjustments? I thank God for some life-changing lessons learned in this season. It was startling at times, challenging at other times, but it was worth the learning experience. I realized how important it is to rearrange priorities that really are not important. I also rearranged some people that I gave too much influence and power over my life. It was when I decided to change my mindset and what I considered most valuable that I allowed God space to move. He replaced the individuals I prioritized as "important" with individuals who were divinely connected. He opened doors that were meant to be walked into in this season, and he put his stamp of approval on this heavenly shift in my life.
As I conclude this post, here are some tips on how to allow the change to cause you to rearrange!
1. Discover where God is taking you and weigh what you consider to be most valuable.
2. Learn to appreciate those who love you and have courage to release those who reject you.
3. Understand that your purpose will be birthed when you surround yourself with people who know their assignment in your life. It's a mutual bond that should be divine!
4. Tune out the negativity and distractions and keep your eyes stayed on Jesus!
I totally agree with,"change should cause you to rearrange." Being unemployed for 1 year and taking a look at my life; I had to make some adjustments. It isn't always easy. I had to prioritize what's important in my life for the season that I am in with regards to ministry so that I may maximize the time. I listen for the voice of God so that I am moving in the timing of the Spirit as not to miss his move. Being positioned in the right place at the right time. This speaks to everything that I have been going through lately and re-evaluating my life.
