​“You’ve circled this mountain long enough, now TURN NORTH.” (Deuteronomy 2:3)

This direction from God comes at the culmination of the Israelites wandering in the desert forty years. They are about to enter the promised land, a destination they have long desired to call home. But while it is a beautiful place with a lush landscape, decadent fruit, and new adventures, the journey won’t be easy. They are going into battle. The unknown, full of temptations from other cultures and plenty of false gods to worship surround them.
 
But, God is on their side. He has ordained this place and time for them, and He stands ready to be with them every step of the way.  
 
So as they pack things up for this new leg of their life journey, God commands, ”now TURN NORTH.”
 
Sweet sister, your time has come to enter this new territory God has also prepared for you. It can be scary, and it will be a battle, no doubt. But it is good. There are important things to experience and learn. Never forget that God is on your side.
 
My prayer is that whatever direction your GPS takes you to your new college home, you will turn your heart, mind, and soul NORTH.
 
Eyes up and on Him. Facing God. Seeking God.
