A Room from the Lord

The Bible has instances where people made room for the Lord. The Ark of the Lord was placed in the house of Obed-Edom. There is an instance where a Shunammite woman made room for the prophet Elisha. In Genesis 26:22, Isaac says, "For now the Lord has made room for us, and we shall be fruitful in the land." I have seen people going through what Isaac went through in everyday life. There are instances in our lives where we are pushed from place to place by people for various reasons. Isaac simply departed whenever people stopped him from staying in a place. Your Enemy know you can only grow and be fruitful when you remain in a place. Whenever Isaac tried his hand at something, they (the Philistines) shooed him away. But God saw and gave him a space where no enemy could stop him from becoming fruitful in the land. None could stop Isaac when the Lord made room for him. Later, Abimelech came and tried to make peace with him. When God makes room for us, our enemies will have no power to push us away. They will have no option but to ask for peace. May the God of Isaac be with us in every injustice we have been through. None can stop our dreams and visions when God has made room for us. When God steps in, the barriers, envious eyes, intentions, and actions have no power over us or our work.

Dear God,

You are awesome in your deeds. You are the God who makes room for us to be fruitful. You are the God who answers the injustice done against us. Thank you for stepping in and making room for us.

In Jesus' name, we thank you. Amen.
