The Lord is taking the initiative to draw His people to Himself and He is using a variety of means to do it.
What do you do when you don’t know what to do? How do you manage your life when
challenging life circumstances seem to be the things that are managing you? How do
you make plans when many things around you are in a constant state of change and
disruption? How do you maintain a faith perspective when disappointments and
discouragements are the dominating narrative surrounding your current story?
These are, but a few of, the soul-searing questions that arise in seasons of uncertainty.
Today, in my own time of prayer, I was captured by the biblical phrase, “to execute on them the written judgement — this honor have all His saints”. I couldn’t shake it. I remembered that these words are found in Psalm 149, and I went to that passage to meditate on this thought.
So, this is a very interesting story from the Bible. Perhaps it has some relevance to what is happening today. The God of the Bible is referred to as the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. This particular story is about Jacob. I’ll summarize it and make an application, but you can read the whole story in Genesis 29.
