Please listen to this song below by Matt Redman and Prepare Your Heart… You never let go
But I stand silently before the Lord, waiting for him to rescue me. For salvation comes from him alone. Yes he alone is my Rock, my rescuer, defense and fortress—Why then should I be tense with fear when troubles come?
My Protection and success come from God Alone. He is my refuge, a Rock where no enemy can reach me. O my people, trust him all the time. Pour out your longings before him, for he can help! the greatest of men, or the lowest—both alike are nothing in his sight. They weigh less than air on scales.
Don’t become rich by extortion and robbery. And don’t let the rich men be proud. He is loving and kind and rewwards each one of us according to the work we do for him.
Psalms 63:1-4
O GOd, My God! How I search for you! How I thirst for you in this parched and weary land where there is no water. How I long to find you ! How I wish I could go into your sanctuary to see your strenght and glory, for your love and kindness are better to me than life itself. HOw I praise you! I will bless you as long as I live, lifting up my hands to you in prayer.

When Reading in Genesis 28, we continue with the life of Jacob. Earlier in his life, he had an encounter with God while he was alone, and have the great vision that we have come to know as Jacob’s ladder.
21 years later we see Jabob heading to meet up with his brother, Esau. Now Great favor had been bestowed upon Esau. While on the way to meet up with him, Jacob came to they came and camped next to a river. In the middle of the night, he awoke his party and sent them across the river. But he stayed behind, alone..Alone with God.
For the remainder of the night, Jacob wrestled with the (Man), Which we know from the reading was the Lord. Jacob refused to stop wrestling and said: “I will not let you go until you bless me.”
Being alone with God and seeking God daily and feverently builds and strengths your walk with the Lord. My protection and success comes from God ALONE.
He is My Rock.
God wants us to have an active faith that is seeking him. In Proverb’s 16:7 … It says “When a man is trying to please God, God makes even his worst enemies to be at peace with him.”
One way to please God is to commit your day to him. Give him your first of the day everyday. Faithfully seek to know his word. The Bible.
God will never let go if you don’t let go…
