Don't Let Go

Genesis 32:26 " And He said let me go, for the day breaketh, and he said, I will not let thee go except thou bless me".

This is a long hard journey we have begun, and there are times when you might feel like what is the use. It can sometimes seem like the more you do, the more you pray, the more you give the harder things get. While those who appear to do nothing seems to be walking on easy street. But be not dismayed, serving the Lord will payoff after while.

To often to many of us give up on the promises of the Lord. With this microwave attitude of todays world , we feel if it doesn't come right away it is not going to come. But we must remember God is not held by time but He holds time. Remember everything God has for you is yours, and He will give it to you when you are ready for it. In todays story Jacob was about to meet his brother Essau for the first time since he tricked him out of  his birth right. He was here wrestling with an angel and he refused to let go until the angel blessed him. He had decided to hold on to God, until God answered his prayer. We to must continue to hold to the promises of the Lord in prayer and communion with Him, until we are blessed. Jacob continued to hold on, and the bible says the angel did bless him there.

 

The true blessing come when we hold on to God, through all of the trials and storms of life. So often the storms and trials themselves are blessings as anything that makes you call upon the name of the Lord is in fact a blessing. Don't let the lies of the devil cause you to let go of the promises of God. Don't  miss out on your blessings. Hold on to God through it all and you will be blessed.
