And Jacob was left alone; and there wrestled a man with him until the breaking of the day(Genesis 32:24)(KJV)
If we were ALL LEFT ALONE more oft to be with Him would we be spiritual giants?? When Jacob was alone with God, he encountered God, wrestled and finally God changed Jacob's name to Israel!! In Joshua 1:1 we see a Joshua being alone when the Lord came to him. We know of a Gideon threshing wheat in a winepress to keep it from the Midianites. He too was all alone, when God commissioned him to save Israel. The burning bush appeared to Moses in the wilderness when he was alone!! John the Baptist was alone in the wilderness, John the disciple was alone in Patmos!!
I feel weighed down to type out words…instead of these moments of typing my thoughts…I must get MORE alone with God to change my destiny in Christ. So many excuses come in when it comes to using more lone time with God. That too, forgetting the fact that I breathe this moment only because HE didn’t say an excuse to love me!! John the baptist, or the beloved may not have died rich, or successful in the eyes of this world BUT they were used to impact the lives of many!!! It is only because the chosen men was left alone and had opened door to God in their deepest silence.. that we read of many works of God.
Father help me to be steady, consistent NEVER to neglect or rob myself of the spiritual blessings.
