Genesis 32:11-12 “…Save me, I pray, from the hand of my brother
Esau, for I am afraid he will come and attack me, and also the mothers with
their children. But you have said, ‘I will surely make you prosper and will
make your descendants like the sand of the sea, which cannot be counted.’”
Jacob was terrified to go back home even though He knew God told him
to do so. In his flesh, he remembered Esau’s wrath and threat to kill him. Yet,
his spirit recalled God’s promise. Fears from the flesh must not be allowed to
trump promises from God to our Spirit in the battle for our thoughts – the two
cannot coexist. What physical fears do you face today? Search scriptures and
recall the promises of God. Spend time with Him in meditative prayer. Listen!
No good father wants His children to live in fear. How then could we as
children of the Most High God live in fear? Stake your claim to His promises
and step boldly in faith knowing that God goes before you to clear your path
and stands behind you to protect your back. If He is for you, what can stand
against you?
Father, Forgive me for allowing worries of life to overtake my trust
in You at times. Help me discern what steps of obedience You want me to take to
abide in Your promises. When I feel weak, afraid and insecure, make me strong,
courageous and confident because I know I am Yours! I love You! Amen
