As we move into the second half of Genesis, our journey focuses now on Jacob. There wasn't a lot jumping off the page at me, so I went through a couple of chapters today.
Gen 28:15 "I am with you and will watch over you wherever you go...I will not leave you until I have done what I have promised you".
Here we see God saying some amazing stuff to Jacob, things I am sure we would all like to hear. I always find it interesting and a tad confusing about which verses we can claim and believe for ourselves, and which (if any) were just specific messages to a person and not ones we can claim. However, since God is no respector of persons (Acts 10:34) I do believe what he has done for one he will do for another, and I would say this is a brilliant verse to speak out when we need some encouragement.

That really spoke to me today, I was having an off day and an buddhist colleague of mine explained their view of the self and as long as we take ourselves seriously or think too much of ourselves and make our own decisions- we'll continue to get it wrong, often we will be selfish and as a Christian I know I have to leave it to the Lord and yet I don't and think that I know better. So I need to get over myself (cheers John for that talking to!) and get back with God's word and do the work he has given me to do! as he continues to work for me
