One in a Million: Journey to Your Promised Land

by Priscilla Shirer

We’ve spent the better part of our time together talking about what it takes to grow personally intimate with God, to lose ourselves in His larger will for our lives, trusting Him through shadow and storm to give us everything we need in order to live in faith and abundance, no matter our circumstances. We’ve watched God deliver His people from Egypt, marveling again at how He’s also delivered us from our sin and rebellion, drawing us into relationship with Himself through Christ Jesus and astounding us with grace too beautiful to resist. We’ve watched Him develop the children of Israel through their time spent in the wilderness, proving to us that His promises remain true even when everything seems to be going in the opposite direction. Yes, deliverance is what makes this journey possible. And the development phase is what makes it profitable. But the bigger question now before us, as people who’ve been promised not just “life” but life “abundantly”—both the milk and the honey—is whether or not we’ll be the one with a “different spirit.” The uncommon, unique, and unusual ones who will go all the way with God. All the way to our appointed, abundant destiny.
