Not Man, But God
Proverbs 16:7 “When God approves of your life, when the Lord is pleased with the decisions you’ve made, even he activates grace to turn enemies into friends, your enemies will end up shaking your hand.” (MSG/TPT)
We will pick up today’s devotional with our final thought from yesterday. Which is, that you and I will discover that the biggest crisis, the biggest conflict, the biggest wrestling that you and I have in life is with God. You may be struggling and wrestling perhaps in your relationship with your children. Read the rest of this entry
Face It!
Genesis 32:22&24 “During the night Jacob… took his two wives, his two servant wives, and his eleven sons and crossed the Jabbok River… This left Jacob all alone in the camp, and a man came and wrestled with him until the dawn began to break.” (emphasis added).
