Travel on promises!
Verse for Today: Monday, February 25, 2013
Genesis 28:15b – “I will not
leave you until I have done what I have promised you.”
Reassurances of our God are vital
for us when we go through the valley of hopelessness. When the world around us
abandons us, our God comes after us to reassure us that He will not abandon us.
When we are homeless, He comes back to show us glimpses of our heavenly home to
revive our sagging spirits. When there is no one around for us to talk to, He
comes to us from heaven to speak to us. He sets before us the stairway of
prayer with which we can climb up to heaven. He shows us the stairway of
blessings flowing from heaven. God
reveals His awesomeness to us in the midst of the darkest nights of our lives
so that we can see His glittering glory which takes away the cold, damp and
lonely nights of our lives. He reassures us with a route map to go forward and
to come back in His will. It is amazing that God had already planned generations
for Jacob which will culminate in blessings for all peoples of the earth
through the promised Savior. It is amazing that the lone traveler is destined
to spread God’s blessings wherever he goes. When God appeared to Jacob, His
emptiness is removed. He started out with only a staff in his hand, but from
now on he travels with his hands and heart full of blessed promises. Not only that, God made Himself available to
Jacob as his permanent travel companion. Today the God of Jacob comes to meet
us in the darkest moments of our lives to wipe away darkness, emptiness, loneliness,
fear, anxiety and depravity and fill us with His blessings. He will not leave
us alone and will give us all that has been our inheritance in this life and
beyond. His peace will go with us on our way and He will lead us to rest in His
awesome presence without anxiety and apprehension.
Dear reader, are you a lonely traveler
without a place to sleep and a person to talk to? Have you become a friendless
destitute in this dark world and going around with anxiety about your future? But
remember that your God is with you even in the darkest nights of your life. He
has kept open His heavenly home for you to go to with your prayers. He has
established a stairway of prayer for you to go up and receive His power and
strength to live to fulfill the purposes God has established for you. God has
appointed His angels to come down the stairway to bring you comfort, peace and
reassurance. In the darkness around, God illuminates your vision to see His
awesomeness. God Himself comes down to speak to you to reassure you about His
wonderful plans for you. He will not leave you alone until all His promises are
fulfilled in your life. He will expand your horizon and help you to make an
impact for God wherever you go. He wants you to move around, dwell in many
places, meet many people and touch many lives as He desired for Jacob. You will
be given newer experiences to know God better every day. He will change your
name, behavior and character to that of a man or woman who has seen God face to
face. Your sagging expressions will turn into exuberance and thrill. God will
make you a blessing wherever you go. You might be looked upon as a rolling
stone who gathers no moth of materialism and fame in this world. But your
spiritual tenor will speak to people to remind them about God’s faithfulness to
all who trust in Him. Today God wants you to trust Him for your unknown
tomorrows which have all been planned and prepared by Him to work for His
glory.
Psalms 46:1 – God is our
refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.
Thought for Today
In the darkest nights when we are alone, God comes to revive our
sagging spirits with His thrilling promises.
