🔥🔥To Walk In God's Will You Must Bury These Four Things Along the Way. You made some bad decisions, life got messy and you want to walk in God’s will again. On your journey back four things might need to be buried along the way.
Think of them as unfinished business that must be faced, accepted, and finally put to rest, like a funeral.
You don’t have to feel good about it happening or agree with it but you do have to bury it so that you can finally make progress in your walk:
1. In Gen 35, Jacob carried baggage from choices he and his family made.
Their bitterness, anger, poor decisions, shattered dreams, losses, idols, and more from their past was affecting him presently. That had to be buried first.
2. Then God brought someone from Jacob’s past back into his life. She was good to him.
He hadn’t seen or heard from Deborah in years, since childhood. But she shows up out of nowhere and suddenly dies. Maybe that was God’s way of saying there are things back there, good or bad, that must be buried for you to go on.
3. Next, the love of Jacob’s life, Rachel, dies.
What is the “love of your life” that is so important that it controls you? It could be a person, a memory, a dream, a loss that won’t let go…
Finally, Jacob gets to where God wants him but one more thing must be dealt with:
4. His old identity. He must bury his dad.
A parent or significant figure that has shaped your identity outside of Jesus.
God changed Jabob’s name to Israel. He changed your name too. But too often he walked after his old identity and not his new.
You probably do that too. It just might be tied to a parent.
Some of the most significant things you bury to walk in God’s will may not be for people.
They might be losses, idols, shattered dreams, lost trust or whatever shapes your identity apart from Jesus.
Maybe it’s time to face some things and bury them so you too can move on.
