Rooting A Fickle And Wandering Spirit

Rooting A Fickle And Wandering Spirit What will we do to keep our children safe? How far will we go to protect our spouse or family member? Do we do enough to show concern for their welfare, interests and spiritual growth? Joseph and Mary left their home to protect their child. All things that happened after that were in line with what was written by prophets before Jesus’ time according to the will of God. When God moves a heart He has not made a mistake. When we try to change “His Will” we often endure more pain, more deadened space between our relationships, and the opportunities to acknowledge God’s blessings seem fewer and far between, or even worse ~ nonexistent. When our hearts nudge us to protect, teach and express our love, let us not mull it over or weigh the pros and cons. For the welfare and promotion of our loved ones, for the spiritual sake of stranger, for the purpose of saving a lost or broken spirit, let us act with quick compassion, love and protection. God moves mountains, softens hardened hearts and opens closed doors for each of us every day! God does not ask us to uproot our families He simply offers us a safe haven to eternally root our often fickle and wandering spirits. Matthew 2:13-18 Now after they had left, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream and said, "Get up, take the child and his mother, and flee to Egypt, and remain there until I tell you; for Herod is about to search for the child, to destroy him." Then Joseph got up, took the child and his mother by night, and went to Egypt, and remained there until the death of Herod. This was to fulfil what had been spoken by the Lord through the prophet, "Out of Egypt I have called my son." When Herod saw that he had been tricked by the wise men, he was infuriated, and he sent and killed all the children in and around Bethlehem who were two years old or under, according to the time that he had learned from the wise men. Then was fulfilled what had been spoken through the prophet Jeremiah: "A voice was heard in Ramah, wailing and loud lamentation, Rachel weeping for her children; she refused to be consoled, because they are no more."
