Genesis 46:1-4 
So Israel set out with all that was his, and when he reached Beersheba, he offered sacrifices to the God of his father Isaac. 

And God spoke to Israel in a vision at night and said, “Jacob! Jacob!” 

“Here I am,” he replied. 

“I am God, the God of your father,” he said. “Do not be afraid to go down to Egypt, for I will make you into a great nation there. I will go down to Egypt with you, and I will surely bring you back again. And Joseph’s own hand will close your eyes.” (NIV)

Beersheba is a place where Abraham and Isaac, and now Jacob, sought God and found his clear direction. If there were lingering doubts about going to Egypt, they were erased here when God spoke to Jacob in a vision. Consider God’s promises to Jacob:

* I will make you into a great nation there.
* I will go down to Egypt with you.
* I will surely bring you back again.
* Joseph will close your eyes when you die. 

These four promises did what God intended them to do. They removed the fear from Jacob/Israel’s heart and mind. What God said in this vision was consistent with what he had said to Abraham and Isaac. 

God’s plans are expansive. 

God promises his presence and provision along with his directions.

God renews us in our broken places. 

Why do you need to hear these truths today? 

What will you do in response to them?

I will trust God’s plans, purpose, and timing for my life.

Our Father, I seek you today to know your will and your way. Here are my ears. What do you have to say? Here is my life. What instructions would you have me obey? Amen.

Daily D – Luke 1:76-79

Luke 1:76-79 And you, my child, will be called a prophet of the Most High;
for you will go on before the Lord to prepare the way for him,
to give his people the knowledge of salvation
through the forgiveness of their sins,
because of the tender mercy of our God,
by which the rising sun will come to us from heaven
to shine on those living in darkness
and in the shadow of death,
to guide our feet into the path of peace.
(NIV)

Daily D – John 20:24-28

John 20:24-28 Now Thomas (also known as Didymus), one of the Twelve, was not with the disciples when Jesus came. So the other disciples told him, “We have seen the Lord!”

But he said to them, “Unless I see the nail marks in his hands and put my finger where the nails were, and put my hand into his side, I will not believe.”

A week later his disciples were in the house again, and Thomas was with them. Though the doors were locked, Jesus came and stood among them and said, “Peace be with you!” Then he said to Thomas, “Put your finger here; see my hands. Reach out your hand and put it into my side. Stop doubting and believe.”

Thomas said to him, “My Lord and my God!”

Daily D – John 18:10-11

John 18:10, 11 Then Simon Peter, who had a sword, drew it and struck the high priest’s servant, cutting off his right ear. (The servant’s name was Malchus.) Jesus commanded Peter, “Put your sword away! Shall I not drink the cup the Father has given me?”

Daily D – John 13:3-5

John 13:3-5 Jesus knew that the Father had put all things under his power, and that he had come from God and was returning to God; so he got up from the meal, took off his outer clothing, and wrapped a towel around his waist. After that, he poured water into a basin and began to wash his disciples’ feet, drying them with the towel that was wrapped around him.

Daily D – John 11:6

John 11:6 “So when he heard that Lazarus was sick, he stayed where he was two more days, . . .”
