Week #1
Day 2
Isaiah 58 / Genesis 26 / Psalm 121
Meditation:
Jacob’s father Isaac falls into a pattern his father Abraham had established (Genesis 12 + 20); he lies about the identity of his wife to protect his own skin.
While these strange stories tell us about the culture and marriages of the time they also tell us something which is true of all times – it is hard to trust God. Both Abraham and Isaac have been promised security, long lives, and many offspring by God. Yet, despite these clear promises both men panic when they are threatened.
Question:
“What area of life do I need to trust God in?”
Prayer:
Lord, I forget your promises to me and panic. Help me to rest in your presence and goodness. Thank you for your attentiveness to me all day and all night. Thank you for your eternal care for me. Thank you that the worse thing that can happen to me is that I die and meet Jesus face to face. Help me to live with the confidence of someone who is never going to die and who has nothing to worry about because of your promises to me.
