Movement

Movement is a theme that shows up throughout the Bible, from the Old Testament through the New Testament. It is clear that God worked through a lot of key people by telling them to simply "go". And the people that did this had a lot of success in carrying out the Lord's work. Leaving town to do work for God is not an easy task, but the rewards are proven through scripture to be awesome and eternal. Movement takes faith, and for that we can begin to understand why God rewards those who move for Him.
There are several illustrations of this, one coming from Genesis 12 when God sends Abraham out to find a land promised for him. Abraham is told little, but obediently follows God's command. God promises Abraham that he will be made into a great nation and will be blessed throughout his journey. The passage is not easy for Abraham, as he travels to far lands, facing famine and war, but Abraham is protected and reassured by God. Eventually, a covenant is made with Abraham and he is given land between Egypt and the Euphrates, as well as the descendants he had prayed for, one of which would much later on be Jesus Christ. God moves through Abraham's movement.
Another illustration is found in Matthew 10 when Jesus sends out his twelve disciples. Jesus urges his disciples to move in order to spread the word that the Kingdom is near. He tells them to not take anything with them, and he blesses them by giving them authority to drive out evil spirits and heal sicknesses. They are given instruction on what to look out for and then sent off. Through the movement they take, Jesus gains many followers, becoming known to the nations. God moves through the disciples' movement.
A final illustration to point out comes from Acts 8. The story picks up with Phillip moving to spread the word of Christ. He preaches the good news and baptizes men and women in the name of Jesus Christ. One such person he baptizes is Simon, a known sorcerer in the land. Simon believes upon seeing the signs and miracles Philip brings. Philip later meets an Ethiopian eunuch trying to understand scripture. Philip explains how Jesus Christ is the answer he is looking for and the eunuch too, is baptized. God moves through Philip's movement.
So as we have found through various stories in the Bible, movement is necessary for the Lord's work to be done. If we want to see God move in our presence, we must start moving ourselves. It doesn't mean we have to travel across the world, it means we must have the boldness to spread the word to the nations and be the catalysts that get fire burning. Home is not here, it is with God and therefore we won't be home until we ascend to heaven to be with Him. But equipped with the tools he provides for us, we can find that peace and sense of home to get us through. God moves with us. Just move.
