Unsettled

Unsettled pt. 4: An Unsettled Freedom

The Israelites found themselves in the middle of an unsettled freedom once they escaped slavery in Egypt. Change was hard for them, just like it is for us today, and they wanted to go back to the comfort of what they knew, even if it wasn't what was best for them. That attitude is a lot like the one we have today, isn't it? When life is unsettling we crave "normal," even if normal wasn't healthy for us. But God's promise for the Israelites is the same for us today: he will be with us in the storm, in the unsettling, no matter what.

Unsettled

If there's one word for how we're all feeling right now it would probably be this: unsettled. Being unsettled isn't a comfortable feeling. It's jarring. It's unsure. It's scary. If you're a recent graduate looking towards college or getting a job you're feeling unsettled. If you're a parent trying to raise kids right now you're feeling unsettled. If you're an elderly person wondering what the world will look like for you tomorrow you're feeling unsettled. We're all feeling this unsettled-ness in the world right now, and even though unsettled isn't a comfortable place to live in, it is a place where God does some of his best work. This summer we'll be looking at a few of the most iconic characters in the Bible—Abraham, Joshua, David, just to name a few—and seeing how God took their unsettled circumstances and did something amazing with their lives. Whatever you're walking through right now (and we're all walking through a lot), don't doubt that God can, and will, use you in this season of feeling unsettled. Let's get ready to watch him move!
