TODAY'S SCRIPTURE

"To the faithful you show yourself faithful; to those with integrity you show integrity. To the pure you show yourself pure, but to the wicked you show yourself hostile." (Psalm 18:25-26)

TODAY'S WORD

, it is interesting how God came to different people in the Bible. To Abraham, God came as a traveler. Abraham was outside his tent when three messengers arrived. Two were angels, while one was God himself. We know that Jesus said, "Your ancestor Abraham rejoiced as he looked forward to my coming. He saw it and was glad" (John 8:56). Why did the Lord come to Abraham as a sojourner? That is what Abraham was.

The night before Israel began their siege of Jericho, God came to Joshua, the commander of Israel's armies, as Commander of the Lord's army.

When God came to Jacob, He came as a wrestler, and Jacob wrestled with Him. Why? Jacob was always fighting, conniving, resisting, and wrestling to get what he wanted. Maybe you can relate to Jacob. Maybe there is something you want from God, even a good thing, like the salvation of a husband or wife. Maybe you are tired of being single and want to get married. Or maybe you want to serve God in a ministry. Don't resort to conniving, because you may get what you want, but at a great cost. Jacob got what he wanted and paid dearly for it. I believe that if he had waited on God, he would have received what he needed and what God had promised.

God wants to do His will in our lives in His way and in His time. If you need something from God, be patient and wait on Him. God will meet you wherever you are to lift you to where He wants you to be.

A PRAYER FOR YOU TODAY

Father, today I wait for what you have in my life. Help me to live each day for you and when you come to me, help me to respond in Jesus' name. Amen.

, we really do love you and we pray God's Blessing in your life!
