Gen 11:27-28 (ESV) Now these are the generations of Terah. Terah fathered Abram, Nahor, & Haran; & Haran fathered Lot. Haran died in the presence of his father Terah in the land of his kindred, in Ur of the Chaldeans. Gen 11:31-32 Terah took Abram his son & Lot the son of Haran, his grandson, & Sarai his daughter-in-law, his son Abram’s wife, and they went forth together from Ur of the Chaldeans to go into the promised land of Canaan. But when they came to pass through Haran, they stopped and settled there. The days of Terah were 205 years, & Terah died in Haran. — Terah was on his way to the promised land but after the loss of his son Haran, he got “stuck” in the city of Haran (which means bitterness). Have you ever gotten stuck in bitterness or in some other painful emotion from a moment of tragedy or loss? It is all a heart matter! We have to keep our hearts uncluttered towards God. God wants our hearts! Are you willing to move past the bitterness to enter the promised land? Or are you stuck and not able to reach Gods best for you? Remember all things are possible with God! Keep moving, keep hoping & keep your heart open for God to perform a work in your heart! Love Mel
