God On Probation

Then Jacob made a vow, saying, "If God will be with me and will keep me in this way that I go, and will give me bread to eat and clothing to wear, so that I come again to my father's house in peace, then the LORD shall be my God, and this stone, which I have set up for a pillar, shall be God's house. And of all that you give me I will give a full tenth to you." (Genesis 28:20-22 ESV)

God, the creator of heavens and earth, has graciously allow men to put Him put on probation. This is a great condescension on His part.

If you are going on a long journey or facing unknown situations, why not trust Jesus, the true and living God? Step out in faith and trust God. What have you got to lose? You have all to gain and know God. There is no down side.

Did God answer Jacob? Yes and His answer was more than "bread to eat and clothing to wear" and returning home safely. He came home as a tribe.

And Jacob said, O God of my father Abraham, and God of my father Isaac, the Lord which saidst unto me, Return unto thy country, and to thy kindred, and I will deal well with thee: I am not worthy of the least of all the mercies, and of all the truth, which thou hast shewed unto thy servant; for with my staff I passed over this Jordan; and now I am become two bands. (Genesis 32:9-10 KJV)

Lord, I thank you that I can trust you for all things. You have proven to be reliable, faithful and trustworthy. Nothing is too difficult for you.
