God Brought Us Out To Bring Us In

In my Bible reading this morning, a particular phrase jumped out at me. It had a rhythmic, poetic essence to it, and I immediately smiled at its beauty. Of course, the more I thought about the phrase and all it entailed, the more I realized just how beautiful it truly is.

And he brought us out from thence, that he might bring us in, to give us the land which he sware unto our fathers. - Deuteronomy 6:23

“He brought us out from thence, that he might bring us in.” I love that! In context, Moses is discussing how God brought the children of Israel out of Egypt so that He might bring them into the Promised Land. But by way of application, I see so many ways this phrase applies to us as Christians.

• He brought us out of sin and bondage to bring us into a life of freedom in Him.

• He brought us out of darkness to bring us into His marvelous light.

• He brought us out of the miry pit to bring us to solid ground.

• He brought us out of the enemy’s grip to place us in the arms of our Father.

• He brought us out of loneliness into a place of fellowship with Him.

• He brought us out of a place of strife and unease into a position of rest and peace.

• He brought us out of destruction into a place of eternal life.

• He brought us out of fear into faith.

• He brought us out of confusion into wisdom and truth.

• He brought us out of corruption into life incorruptible.

Yes, my friends, God brought us out that He might bring us in, and I fear I’ve only skimmed the surface of this topic. What do you think? Do you have something to add? In what ways has God brought you out of something to bring you into something better? I’d love to hear your thoughts.
