God is a God of movement, and because God is a God of movement, we could say that God’s people are on the move. Migration means movement from one place to another. We can see throughout the Bible examples of God’s people on the move, migrating.

Migration, and immigration, is nothing new, it’s happened throughout history — people have migrated because of weather, hunting, fleeing violence, or even “forced” migration. Moreover, migration is not a phenomenon exclusive to the US or any other part of the world.

Regardless of how we view migration, the truth is that some of God’s most amazing works have happened when someone migrated from one place to another — geographically primarily, or socially, culturally, or spiritually.

We see how God did amazing things through Noah, who migrated on an ark to another place, through Abraham who migrated from Ur to Canaan, through Joseph who “migrated” to Egypt, through the Hebrew people who migrated from Egypt to the Promised Land, through Ruth who migrated from Moab to Judah (to name a few).

One of those amazing works of God came through the Moabite Ruth’s migration journey; Ruth, who by the way, was King David’s great-grandmother, thus including a Moabite in Jesus’ lineage.
