THERE, I WILL MAKE YOU GREAT: Devotion for Tuesday January 5, 2016

THERE, I WILL MAKE YOU GREAT     Tuesday January 5, 2016

Text: Genesis 46:1 – 3                      Memory verse: v 3

When Jesus told Peter and his fellow fishermen to follow Him, they obeyed and today their names rings bell in the world. Who would have known the names of Peter, Andrew, James and John if not that they obeyed the instruction to follow Jesus? There are places God have chosen to open His promises to us. The promise of making Jacob great was made by God in Gen. 28:13–15. God told Jacob to leave his home and travel to a strange and faraway land, Egypt. He was 130 years old, unfit to travel and the journey is a long one. However, God reassured him by promising to go with him and take care of him. God fulfilled it by making Israel a great nation in Egypt. They were 75 persons that left for Egypt and came out in millions. What a mighty God we serve!

When new situations or surroundings frighten us as we have just entered a new year, we should recognize that experiencing fear is normal. However, to be paralyzed by fear is an indication that you question God’s ability to take care of you. There is a place God has chosen to bless and prosper you this year. All you need to do is ask for divine wisdom from God to take you to that place of recognition and blessing. We should trust God to help us as we undertake various ventures this year. He will see us through and make us great.

Food for Thought: Where has God promised to make you great?

Prayer:
Lord, lead me to the place you have promised to make me great.
