"The Bible transcends time, culture, gender, and intellect. There is no other book that perfectly stands up to the challenges of the day, to the questions that confront life itself." —Alistair Begg

When I look at my imperfections, and think that I have nothing to offer God. I am reminded that Jesus used 4 fishermen, a doubter, a social outcast & 6 average 'Joe's' to rock the world!

Blessing Beyond Measure

Your descendants will be like the dust of the earth, and you will spread out to the west and to the east, to the north and to the south. All peoples on earth will be blessed through you and your offspring. (Genesis 28:14)

In this powerful promise, God speaks to Jacob, assuring him that his descendants will be as numerous as the dust of the earth and that they will spread out in all directions. Moreover, God promises that all peoples on earth will be blessed through Jacob and his offspring. This promise reiterates the covenant made with Abraham and emphasizes the global impact of God's blessings.
This passage reminds us of God's expansive vision for His people. It encourages us to think beyond our immediate circumstances and recognize that God's plans for us include blessing others and impacting the world.

Life Application:
1. Embrace God's Vision: Understand that God’s plans for you are vast and impactful, extending beyond your immediate surroundings.

2. Be a Blessing: Actively seek ways to bless others, knowing that God can use you to bring His blessings to the world.

3. Trust in God's Promises: Have faith that God’s promises to you will be fulfilled, just as they were for Jacob and his descendants.

Prayer:
Heavenly Father, thank You for Your expansive promises and for the assurance that Your blessings extend far beyond our immediate lives. Help us to embrace Your vision and to be conduits of Your blessings to others. Strengthen our faith to trust in Your promises and to live in a way that honors You. In Jesus' name, Amen.

Two minute devotion

The Fulfillment of God's Promises
JUL 17




Now the LORD was gracious to Sarah as he had said, and the LORD did for Sarah what he had promised. Sarah became pregnant and bore a son to Abraham in his old age, at the very time God had promised him. (Genesis 21:1-2)

In this passage, we witness the faithfulness of God as He fulfills His promise to Sarah and Abraham. Despite their old age and years of waiting, God’s promise comes to pass at the appointed time. This miraculous event underscores God's sovereignty and His unwavering commitment to His word.

This account encourages us to trust in God's promises, no matter how long we may have to wait or how impossible they seem. God's timing is perfect, and His plans for us are always good. When we remain faithful and patient, we will see His promises fulfilled in our lives.

Life Application:

Trust in God's Faithfulness: Believe that God will fulfill His promises to you, just as He did for Sarah and Abraham.

Be Patient in Waiting: Understand that God's timing is perfect, and sometimes we need to wait patiently for His promises to be realized.

Celebrate God's Goodness: When God fulfills His promises, take time to celebrate and give thanks for His faithfulness and grace.

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, thank You for Your faithfulness and for fulfilling Your promises. Help us to trust in Your perfect timing and to remain patient as we wait for Your plans to unfold. May we always celebrate Your goodness and give thanks for Your graciousness in our lives. In Jesus' name, Amen
