At church, we are doing the study “Gripped by the greatness of God”, by Pastor James MacDonald. I can’t tell you how enlightening it’s been already, surfacing things in my life that I realize do not align with the Holiness of Who He is. Taken from the book of Isaiah (right now the 6th chapter) we are diving deep into the holiness and worship of our God. As I’m sure you know, when you dive DEEP, God does amazing things to transform us. Do we really know what it’s like to be  ”gripped” by God? A lot of us have had mountain top experiences, but to be totally held and changed by the presence of the King…I want to know what its like to truly dwell there. Don’t you? Not to just have victory on Sunday only to go back to the bottom lands of worry and defeat the rest of the week. I encourage you to google this study…we need to go deeper in the Word and our understanding of just Who our Holy God is!

I’ve loved reading in the book of Genesis for the past couple of weeks. A lady came into the store this morning to pick up a One Year Bible, and said “Genesis sure is read a lot in the month of January!” I wanted to dive into my own stories of how God has spoken to me through the life of Abraham, but there wasn’t time. So, I will share with you the passage that ministered to me last weekend. Abraham had a plan to get a bride for his son Isaac from the far away land of his people. He didn’t send just anyone to find Rebecca,but he sent his oldest, most trusted servant. Abraham’s servant must’ve really loved and respected him, because he made sure that he prayed over every aspect of his task and was totally led by God in every step that He made. He wanted to please Abraham and knew that the chances of him finding the specific bride on his own were slim. Just like the Faithful One that He is, God had this man covered. He came though on every little detail that this servant asked for as a sign! Even down to the drink for His camels! (if you read the story, you’ll be in awe of that part, too!) The verse that I loved and circled and high lighted in this story, is Gen. 24:40 -And he said unto me, The Lord, before whom I walk, will send his angel with thee, and prosper thy way; and thou shalt take a wife for my son of my kindred, and of my father’s house:

Even Abraham knew that the task would be impossible unless God went before his servant. And just like the Lord led in this instance thousands of years ago, He is sending His angel before you today, to prosper your way. I’m glad we don’t have to wander around, uncertain of ourselves and God’s faithfulness to lead. We can know that He will go before us and make the way plain. Trust God and obey! This promise is for us, just like the Lord told Joshua,   “Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous! Do not tremble or be dismayed, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go.” Josh. 1:9
