Genesis 46:1-27
You might say that Jacob takes the plunge in Genesis 46. He loads up his entire family and all his possessions and sets off for Egypt. Quite a big and scary undertaking. But Jacob didn't have to go it alone. God was with him all the way and even gave reassurance to Jacob telling him to not be afraid because He [God] would go to Egypt with Jacob and make him a great nation (Gen. 46:3-4).
So how has God reassured you in the past? How will you seek out and listen for the Lord's reassurance and guidance today? Tami W.
I am actually reaching out and seeking God guidance right now as I read this blog. God reassures us every day really if we just let him. We are created to have fellowship with God, hence prayer!
I try to capitalize on what Paul's says about being content in everything and keep remembering that this is not my ultimate home but that to 'die is gain.'
The peace that passes understanding. No matter what, if I will actually check deep down inside there is always that peace, because He has told us in His Word, He will never leave us or forsake us. An He is our peace!
To be honest, right now I can't feel God's assurance right now. It is a fight to go to church, read the Bible or have a close relationship with God. It seem every time I try, my health(or I should say I let my health) gets in the way. I am really discouraged.
I keep reminding myself that God said He would never leave me or forsake me, and all things work together for good. He is a good God and gives good gifts. I need to work on forgiving myself when I fail.
Karen,I would encourage you to keep your eyes on God. God is there with you, just to continue to seek Him and trust Him. He loves you so very much.
