Jacob was a ‘passive aggressive,’ ‘controller’. Do you try to control people and things so that situations will work out the way you want them to?
Jacob wasted decades of ‘nervous energy’ worrying about the fulfillment of a promise that was already his! Are you exhausting yourself in stress and anxiety trying to ‘earn’ a blessing God has freely promised?
Jacob reaped consequences in his life due to his deceptiveness. Can you clearly see some of the negative consequences you have brought upon yourself through your own sin?
Jacob’s life was an intricate webbing of sin and grace. Yet, his life concluded with twelve sons who would become the twelve tribes, of which one, (Judah), would eventually carry on the lineage of the Messiah! It all worked out in the end! Do you have faith that God will work everything out for you?
As you prepare to pray again, open yourself completely to Him and believe for a complete restoration of your past! Let’s be totally honest about our wasted years, knowing that He will always bless us if we choose to walk in the light. God offers you the possibility of a bright future, no matter where you’ve been. Why not take Him up on it? From this Day Forward, Your Future Is More Important Than Your Past!
