As we experience transitions, it’s easy to get tired and withdraw from living life to the fullest. But the Bible tells us that God journeys with us through our transitions, and sometimes we need to focus on what He is doing instead of getting stuck in our past. Through Israel’s moving from Egypt to wilderness, from Jerusalem to exile, God walked with them through intense change, preparing them for His plans and purpose. See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? (Isaiah 43:19a) Can you see the hope and purpose of your transition?

Learning Outcomes:

• Discover our call to be set apart
• Learn to move back to God
