TOPIC: The God That Protects
TEXT: Genesis 31:25-32:2(NKJV)
STUDY: Yesterday we saw how Jacob stole away from Laban and his family because he had fallen out of favour with them. When Laban heard of it, he gathered his people to pursue after Jacob and overtook him after seven days journey. Laban must have devised evil in his mind against Jacob but God had to warn him in 31:24 to “speak to Jacob neither good nor bad.”
Of course, Laban was confrontational when he met Jacob and reminded him that all he had came from him and he had the power to harm him if not for the warning of God. He even complained that Jacob stole his gods! (Gen. 31:30). What a god!
Many of us never realise how God works from the background to protect us. He did that when Balak hired Balaam to curse Israel (Num. 25). He did that to Elisha and his servant when the Syrian army was sent to arrest them (2 Kings 6:18). He is still in the business. With enemies all around us, only God can give us maximum protection from seen and unseen enemies. We cannot rely on gods that can be sat upon for our protection (Gen. 31:34). We must trust God more than any physical protection apparatus we may have (Psalm 127:1). We need to abandon our life to Him. Try Him today.
PRAYER: My life is in Your hands mighty Lord. Help me to always trust You to protect me.
Daily Fountain Quote of the Day
Ephesians 3:17-19-21: “So that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith—that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may have strength to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God. Now to him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to the power at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever.”
