"But Judah replied: "The man strictly warned us, 'You shall not see me unless your brother is with you.' If you are willing to let our brother go with us, we will go down to buy food for you. But if you are not willing, we will not go down, because the man told us, 'You shall not see me unless your brother is with you.'" Israel demanded, "Why did you bring this trouble on me by telling the man that you had another brother?""
Genesis 43:3-6
Jacob is being asked by God to make a difficult decision one he does not like. Jacob is fearful of what might happen and has done everything to protect the last rightful aire as far as he knows. Abraham had to make this decision, Our Father in Heaven had to make this decision, what about you? "saying, "Father, if you are willing, take this cup away from me; still, not my will but yours be done." Luke 22:42. Jacob makes the decision and gives up his son not knowing the outcome. Following the will of God is not always easy for He asks us to choose, Him or self. The right choice is Him, be willing to lay down self and place yourself into the Father's hands. He knows what is best.

What is God saying to me: Listen to My heart, it beats for You, to see life and to see it abundantly.
Dear Father, the choices I will have to make are not as dramatic as this but they will impact my future. May I always place You first when making those decisions. Help us see how following Your will, though seeming a painful choice is always the best choice. Prayers for healing this weekend for a group or ladies on retreat. Watch over Your children Lord and help us become like little children with awe and wonderment in our Spirit. Bless this day and may we take You with us everywhere we go, Amen.
Mary, Virgin of virgins, pray for us.
Greater is He that is in me than he that is in the world. 1 John 4:4b
