Theme For David Jeremiah Daily Devotional January 29 2022 – Are You Ready for a New Year? New Year’s Relocation
Get up, get out of this place!
Genesis 19:14
Recommended Reading: Philippians 3:12-14
All around the world people moved out of big cities during the COVID crisis. Some did so because their jobs allowed them to work remotely. Others did so to avoid crowds and congestion. Some did it to escape high taxes and governmental mandates.
Perhaps you need to relocate too.
If you’re living in one of the towns in the state of Carelessness, it’s time to call a moving van. The names of those towns are Slothful, Lazy, Greedy, Bitter, Angry, Lustful, and Irritable. The inhabitants of those towns tend to live up to their reputations, and you need to get up and get out of that place.
Try moving to one of the cities in the state of Blessing. Those towns and cities bear names like Grace, Peace, Faithfulness, Joy, Zeal, and Holiness. In these towns, the taxes are low, the air is clear, the streets are clean, the residents are harmonious, and the Lord dwells among His people.
Maybe it’s time to get moving!
My heart has no desire to stay where doubts arise and fears dismay; / Though some may dwell where these abound, my prayer, my aim, is higher ground.
Johnson Oatman, Jr., “I’m Pressing on the Upward Way”
