1/17/23: todays meditation: I AM THE GOD WHO APPEARED TO YOU! Have you ever thought about all the people who appear to you in a single day? At times these people can appear to be random. Unknowns, not related, not your problem. However, if we consider the above; He is the God who appeared to you;
In them. I like to muse upon this: God appearing to me in the form of a homeless person, or old lady, or a poor child in need, a sick person or a runaway teenager who needs help. The people I meet along my journey for the day. I am not saying I always do what is right; but at least considering this as a possibility raises my consciousness to the fact that God Himself May be appearing to me. And what would Jesus do? Or what would Jesus have me do? These are good questions to ask yourself as you approach strangers today. Maybe all they need is a smile, a “hello, how are you?” and “God bless you”! So for today meditate upon this: THE GOD WHO APPEARED TO YOU! 🔥

Tonight’s meditation: I WILL NOT LET YOU GO UNTIL YOU BLESS ME!
Perhaps we haven’t wrestled with God hard enough. Perhaps we weren’t willing to stay up all night long with Him in prayer and supplication and yet still wanted our blessing. Are you willing to fight for it? Are you willing to put in the time and struggle like Jacob? Who wouldn’t let go until the Lord blessed him? Listen, this applies to our lives right now too. If you want intimacy with the Lord; you need to put the time in. You need to fight against every temptation and distraction to be with Him. And fight until you get that alone and one on one time too. Anything that is worth fighting for, should be struggled to achieve. Jesus is certainly worth every moment of your time. Let’s pray for each other to not give up, give in or throw in the towel until He blesses us with His presence! Shalom 🙏
