There are times when the LORD will ask you to stay put in a certain area until your assignment there is finished. It may not be pleasant or easy. It may be a job, a relationship, a situation, or a safe place for you to be UNTIL you are ready, or the new place is ready to move into. Just steady your course and keep close to the LORD’s heart so that you will know when it is time. It may be that the LORD is wanting you to fight a battle there that only you have a heart for. It may be to develop persistence in you, and weed out those who will not join His people in the fray. Ask Him if you are where you are supposed to be, and know that Jesus told his disciples to “tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from on high” (Luke 24:49, KJV). Those who obeyed were filled with the Holy Spirit on the Day of Pentecost (Acts 1 & 2). This was indeed a great reward!
