"Israel set out with all that was his. When he arrived at Beer-sheba, he offered sacrifices to the God of his father Isaac. There God, speaking to Israel in a vision by night, called: Jacob! Jacob! He answered, "Here I am." Then he said: I am God, the God of your father. Do not be afraid to go down to Egypt, for there I will make you a great nation. I will go down to Egypt with you and I will also bring you back here, after Joseph has closed your eyes." Genesis 46:1-4
Israel sets out on a journey leaving his home land to live in Egypt to become a great nation, before he leaves, he goes to mass at the altar built by Isaac, his father. God tells Isaac: "The LORD appeared to him the same night and said, "I am the God of your father Abraham; Do not fear, for I am with you. I will bless you, and multiply your descendants, For the sake of My servant Abraham."" Genesis 26:24. How many of us take God with us when we go on a journey? Do we begin our week with God at mass? Our Fathers did, why not us. Things may move way faster during this time but the story is pretty much the same, take God with you and He will insure you return home. Eternity starts on this side of the dirt, not the other side, live your faith.
What is God saying to me: I go with you, the words are written on your heart and in your actions. Live My life within you.
Dear Father, I thank You for speaking to me through the priest yesterday. You are always out in front when we place You first in our lives. There is a peace in knowing that You are with us. Thank You Father for watching over our family as I travel. Thank You for healing hearts that are grieving, You have a mighty plan that is in motion. Prayers for a family who lost a child in a four wheeler accident, You never fail us even when things seam bleak. Bless this day and may You shine through us as we go into the world. Amen.
