“What doest thou here..?” “And [God] blessed him there.” An old preacher used to say of our text, “Whatcha doin here, if ya oughta be there?” God will not bless you here, if He wants you there. Never be fearful of there, for if He put you there then He will bless you there!
On the other hand, if God is blessing you here, there is no need to go there. To do so is to go out full and end up empty. There is a time to get out of the boat (Matt.14:29); and there is also a time to stay in it (Acts 27:31).
How then does one decide between here and there? I found in my own life and ministry that a sure sign to leave here for there is when the brook dries up.
