"Jacob then made this vow: "If God will be with me and protect me on this journey I am making and give me food to eat and clothes to wear, and I come back safely to my father's house, the LORD will be my God." Genesis 28:20-21
Why does Jacob say "if"? He just awoke from a dream where God told him: "I am with you and will protect you wherever you go, and bring you back to this land. I will never leave you until I have done what I promised you." Genesis 28:15. God is definite in His words but Jacob has doubt. Is it because Jacob deceived his father and took his brothers inheritance? We allow sin in our lives to create doubt within us that God will do what He says. His Covenant relationship with us will never be broken by Him, even in our doubts we must continue walking towards God. You will see how much He loves you and seeks to protect you. God's mission is to get you to Heaven, everything in between is just part of the journey. Accept God at His word and let Him be your God!
What is God saying to me: There are times that discomfort will be part of Your life, know that I am with You to see you thru to the other side. Live in peace, even in the discomfort.
Dear Father, the journey thru the Bible teaches us of Your unfailing love You have for Your creation. Help us overcome our own doubts and fears to receive You into our hearts. You are on the inside guiding us to eternal life. I take You at Your word, I hear You speak and I am doing my best to do what You ask. Bless this day Father, help each of us on our own journeys, You are writing the stories. I ask this in Jesus name, Amen.
Mary, Gate of Heaven, pray for us.
