I am reading the story of Jacob and how he went to Laban to get a wife. When he met Rachel he fell in love with her instantly and although he worked for Laban for seven years it seemed to him to be a short time.
If we go back in the story, Jacob stole his brother's birthright through false pretenses. Now laban ensnares Jacob to work for him for seven years and then deceives Jacob by giving Leah to him as a wife.
It is strange to think about the story. Because Jacob paid dearly for his transgressions and was kept from the love of his life, by a deception very similar to the one he carried out on his brother.
GOD is watching all that we do. And when we sin, there are always consequences for our actions. We also separate us from the love of GOD when we sin.
The only way back to GOD is to admit that we are sinners. To confess our sins and to beg our FATHER in Heaven to forgive us. That we bring ourselves back to our FATHER in Heaven as HE removes the sins from us as far as the East is from the West.
Today, let us consider our sins and let us confess them to our FATHER and to ask HIM for HIS mercy and grace.
Prayer: FATHER, I know that I am a sinner. Today, I would humbly ask that YOU forgive my sins. I thank YOU for YOUR grace and mercy. I pray all of this in the Holy Name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
Stay truly GOD blessed today!
