What is it that you cannot live without?
What are you afraid of losing ?
Jacob fought 20 years to conquer what he had but when his brother was coming to meet him he was greatly afraid and distressed and divided the people into two companies thinking if one is attacked at least one group could escape. Genesis 32:7,8
He was afraid of losing what he had and his life.
But afterwards we see that even the ones who were with him he sent them over the brook and made them cross the ford of Jabbok symbolising his total surrender, letting go of everything and being left alone.
Sometimes we want to see the greatness of God but we don't want to let go of those things we have in other to conquer something better for example: car, house, family, money, title etc...
It is interesting to notice that the Angel only appeared when Jacob was left alone.
God can only show himself in our lives when we reach the point of not fearing losing what we have because He is the only one we cannot live without. When we are left alone, total surrender, total sacrifice then the transformation will happen.
What about you, are you ready to put on the altar what you could not live without in other to have something more valuable than that?
God Bless you
