And when they were departed, behold, the angel of the Lord
appeareth to Joseph in a dream, saying, Arise, and take the young child and his
mother, and flee into Egypt, and be thou there until I bring thee word: for
Herod will seek the young child to destroy him.
Matthew 2:13
Deciding whether to relocate to another country or not could
be a dilemma. It can be a nostalgic moment of life. However, there can be captivating motives to
relocate either permanently or temporarily such as quest for knowledge,
lifetime opportunities, religious, safety and more.
Joseph, his wife Mary and their son Jesus had to embark on a
journey to Egypt on a very short notice. The planning and preparation was done
in one day and this was because the safety of their son was threatened by King
Herod. This was a temporary relocation but they had to endure the danger of
travelling at night and by road from Israel to Egypt.
If you have decided to relocate for whatever reasons, plan
and prepare and move quickly once you have fulfilled the legal requirements.
Don’t get caught in the trap where tangible years of life are wasted in futile
attempts to travel and nothing meaningful is achieved. The world is big enough
for everyone. Most importantly be at peace by seeking God’s approval through
prayer. Once you are convinced and at peace there will be no hesitation on your
part. Do not forget your motives for relocating so that you do not lose focus.
God will be with you there.
Not everyone will relocate no matter how strong the desires
are. Make the most of your life where you are. Do not live in despair even if
you wish to relocate but there are no opportunities. You can achieve your life purpose
and be fulfilled where you are. There are fulfilled dreams and success stories
at home and abroad. Your vision is the most important factor as there are
challenges everywhere. Build yourself and leverage on all the opportunities God
brings your way. Be rest assured that God has the best plan for everyone and
will be with you always. You could always have travel plans to see the world
and return home. After all there is no place like home.
