Separation is Necessary for Elevation
When a snake advances to different stages of its life, the process of that advancing is the shedding of its skin. The equivalent of that process for us as human beings would be the shedding of environments and people.
The bible said that when God called Abram, who later became Abraham, God did not ask him how his family was doing or if all was well, etc.
Instead, the first thing God said was to remove yourself from your country and kindred. In other words, separate yourself from your environment and those that you are familiar with.
Now, this may seem somewhat harsh, but this is God’s way of separating the sheep from the goats so that the sheep can hear the Shepard clearly.
One of the initial signs of promotion or elevation to one’s life begins with discord, or challenges with those that are closest to you, or the place that you are presently at, seems as if you have either outgrown it, or it’s rejecting of you for no apparent reason.
The chronicles of your life should always read how your experiences (good and bad) with those places and people have made you a solution to someone else’s problem. Those people and places were God’s chisel at that particular time used to carve you into what he’s called you to be. Meaning they were necessary but not permanent.
So, bid farewell, and proceed forward with the expectation and confidence that better is ahead, awaiting your arrival.
