"How blessed is he whose help is the God of Jacob, Whose hope is in the LORD his God," Psalms 146:5
The God of Jacob. We think God seeks our perfection but look at the life of Jacob. He cheated his brother out of his birthright of the family's wealth. He lied to his father to get his blessing over his brother. He was far from perfect but his heart was for God. In our lives are we seeking to be perfect or are we seeking God. God knows your heart, He looks past your imperfections and excepts you for who you are. He will discipline your imperfections, Jacob had to spend seven more years of servitude when wanting to marry Rachel. Jacob never looked back, he accepted his fate and trusted in his God. God is always there, even when we are not, He uses all for His good. Don't know about you but I am thankful I worship the merciful and loving God of Jacob who is my help.
Dear God of Jacob, what a blessing to sit still today and spend time together. You see everything and yet we spend time together. You see my imperfections, my struggles, and our victories. I am thankful for the desire to turn to you and acknowledge You in all that I do. I am thankful that I turn to You in my moments of need. You are my help and You are greater in me than the world around me. One day, thru Your grace, we will be together forever. This I pray in the name of Jesus, Amen.
Greater is He that is in me than he that is in the world. 1 John 4:4b
