Here are my reflections and comments from today’s scripture from Our Daily Inspirations App.
My brothers and sisters in Christ, before I read or comment on God’s word, I pray that He prepares my heart to receive his guidance and ask that He uses me as his vessel to comment on His word.
The scripture is from Genesis 28:20-22, “Jacob vowed a vow, saying’ If God will be with me, and will keep me in this way that I go, and will give me bread to eat, and clothing to put on, so that I come again to my father’s house in peace, and the Lord will be my God, then this stone, which I have set up for a pillar, will be God’s house. Of all that you will give me I will surely give a tenth to you’”
The devotion is titled Our Greatest Need by John Michalak. As we know, the connection between what we need and how well we follow God goes back to Adam and Eve. We are in fear that our needs will not be met, so we don’t put seek God first, as evidenced in Jacob’s vow to God. Jesus said to first seek God’s kingdom and His righteous and all these (your needs) will be given to you. Here is the deal, through the cross, Jesus has already met our greatest need. We can be secure that He will take care of everything we will ever need.
Reflection: How often do we put all our needs in God’s capable hands?
Here was my response: Now that I am a child of god, I put all me needs in God’s capable hands. I hope you do so, also.
My Prayer for us: Dear God, we want to make You first and foremost in our lives. We cast all our worries and anxieties on You. You are more than enough for us. Please provide the necessities of our lives and bless us with enough extra that we can be a blessing to others. Thank you for Your eternal faithfulness. In Jesus’ name we pray, Amen.
