Grace for your spirit April 29,2008

Grace for your spirit
Behold, I am with you and will keep you wherever you go, and will bring you back to this land; for I will not leave you until I have done what I have promised you." Then Jacob awoke from his sleep and said, "Surely the LORD is in this place, and I did not know it." Genesis 28:15-16

Jacob, the son of Isaac, had a dream one night. It was a stairway with angels walking on it, and God was at the top. God gave him this promise of always being with him, and he woke up. He was surprised that the Lord was in that place. In fact, Jacob had the common idea that he had to go to God when he wanted Him. He also thought he could leave Him behind. That distance between him and God left room for lots of sin. The same is true with us. When we think God lives in our church buildings, and we can leave Him behind, our spiritual lives suffer. He is with us. Know it and live it.

The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit
Philippians 4:23
