Embracing Separation for God's Greater Plan
And the LORD said to Abram, after Lot had separated from him: ‘Lift your eyes now and look from the place where you are—northward, southward, eastward, and westward; for all the land which you see I give to you and your descendants forever.’ - Gen. 13:14-15
In our pursuit of God’s divine plan, we often encounter moments when we must release certain aspects of our lives. It could be a habit, a distraction, or even a relationship. As we earnestly seek His will, God reveals these areas that need to be surrendered. Though letting go is not always easy, He empowers us to obey His guidance. By trusting in His sovereign ways and relying on His grace, we let go to let God work His perfect will.
Navigating relational separations can be particularly challenging. Sometimes, God leads us away from relationships where strife prevails and reconciliation seems impossible. This doesn’t always imply wrongdoing, but rather signifies that separate paths are needed for a new season. Embracing separation for God's greater plans helps us surrender to His will.
Regardless of the type of separation, it is important to remember that God always separates us from something in order to prepare us for something better. Often, the purpose of the separation becomes clear after we’ve walked through it. Let us praise Him for not allowing us to remain where we are, and for separating things from us in order to bring us into His greater plan, from glory to glory!
