“But God had come to Laban the Syrian in a dream by night, and said to him, Be careful that you speak to Jacob neither good nor bad.”

Genesis 31:24

Like Jacob, we make mistakes and get involved with things we shouldn’t! We get caught up in the world and its doings, but the LORD always seems to intervene!

“If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, When men rose up against us, Then they would have swallowed us alive, When their wrath was kindled against us.”

Psalm 124:2-3

The world always seems to want to try to take us down, bring us down to its ungodly level! The LORD wants us to avoid worldliness, but when we get caught up in it, He is always willing to pull us out!

“Therefore He is also able to save to the uttermost those who come to God through Him, since He always lives to make intercession for them.”

Hebrews 7:25

Remember, the LORD has always got us in the palm of His hand! We just need to be reminded from time to time to stay out of the world and its doings! Today, let’s separate ourselves from the world and focus on the LORD! Turn off the junk!

Have a blessed day!

“Then God remembered Rachel, and God listened to her and opened her womb.”

Genesis 30:22

Like Rachel, we can feel everyone around us is being blessed by the LORD and we are just forgotten! Not true! The LORD knows exactly where we are and what we are going through. While we are waiting, He prepares us for what’s next!

“Rest in the LORD, and wait for Him; Do not fret because of him who prospers in his way, Because of the man who brings wicked schemes to pass.”

Psalm 37:7

Being patient and waiting can be hard. We want to get out there and shake things up, make things happen! Often times, when we do things on our own strength, we tend to make messes. The best thing to do is wait for the LORD to move, even when we see those around us prospering.

“I wait for the LORD, my soul waits, And in His word I do hope.”

Psalm 130:5

Today, realize the LORD hasn’t forgotten you. He knows your situation, so just keep digging into His word, walking in His way and following His instructions! He always gets us through. Have a blessed day waiting on Him!

“When the LORD saw that Leah was unloved, He opened her womb; but Rachel was barren.”

Genesis 29:31

We can also feel unloved by family, friends and even our spouses; what we need to remember is the LORD loves us!

You may ask then why do I feel unloved?

“For whom the LORD loves He corrects, just as a father the son in whom he delights.”

Proverbs 3:12

Maybe that’s how you feel today, unloved by people and chastened by the LORD! The good news is the LORD really loves you, if you’re feeling corrected by Him, understand you’re just being directed to walk in His ways!

“For You are my rock and fortress; Therefore, for Your name’s sake, Lead me and guide me.”

Psalm 31:3

Realize, the obstacles that are in front of us, the LORD allows to guide us on His path! So don’t look to people, but look to the LORD, His love never fails!

Have a blessed day in Him!

“Also your descendants shall be as the dust of the earth; you shall spread abroad to the west and the east, to the north and the south; and in you and in your seed all the families of the earth shall be blessed.”

Genesis 28:14

The LORD keeps His promises to us no matter how many times we blow it or get distracted and walk in the wrong direction! Just call on the LORD when we do blow it!

“I will call upon the LORD, who is worthy to be praised; So shall I be saved from my enemies.”

2 Samuel 22:4

While we are walking through life, realize the LORD goes before us and is right there with us as we go through life.

“No man shall be able to stand before you all the days of your life; as I was with Moses, so I will be with you. I will not leave you nor forsake you.”

Joshua 1:5

Just like He did to Joshua the LORD promises us He won’t leave us or forsake us, as Hebrews 13:5 reminds us; “For He Himself said, I WILL NEVER LEAVE YOU NOR FORSAKE YOU.”

Today, let’s walk boldly and confidently with our LORD today, knowing the LORD is with us everywhere we go! Have a blessed day and a blessed week.

“Come to Me, all of you who are struggling and burdened, and I will give you rest.”

Matthew 11:28 CJB

We can all have days where we are worn out, tired physically and spiritually from laboring! It may be the bills are overwhelming you, lack of work, lack of health and/or your relationships are in the tank! Jesus says come unto me!

“Take My yoke upon you and LEARN from me, because I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”

Matthew 11:29-30 CJB

The key is to allow Jesus into your life, let Him take over and learn from Him! He has experienced every feeling or struggle we have: pain, sadness and loneliness. We need to just let go, not my will but His will be done!

“Desist, and learn that I am God, supreme over nations, supreme over the earth.”

Psalm 46:10 CJB

Whatever you may be struggling or wrestling with, just drop it and let it go! Grab unto the LORD and let Him take over and He will give you the rest and the comfort you are longing for!

Have a blessed day in Him.
