Settle in the Land

Listen to the Podcast

Here is today's communion meditation.

 Yesterday we talked about 1 Peter 5:10 which says...

But may the God of all grace, who called us to His eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a while, perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle you.

In the original Greek language of this verse the word settle is often translated as "Foundation," and this month our message is about having a foundation of rest. To settle is to come to rest. While thinking about the concept of settling in, Genesis 26 also came to mind which tells the story of Isaac settling in the land God showed him.  Here is the passage:

Now there was a famine in the land—besides the previous famine in Abraham’s time—and Isaac went to Abimelek king of the Philistines in Gerar. The LORD appeared to Isaac and said, “Do not go down to Egypt. Settle in the land where I tell you. 3 Stay in this land for a while, and I will be with you and will bless you.

In today's communion we are asking God to help us understand settling in the land and what it means for us today. And we are asking him to help us apply and walk in what we learn.
