Where is your face?(Gen. 30-35, 40-45)

 A humble heart plunders wickedness for the things of Lord. The Lord sees our distress, but waits to deliver us until wickedness crumbles. Wealth intimately comes from the Lord.

No words from the Lord are in the mouth of a trickster. The blessing of a deceiver are empty promises. The righteous defile the god of materialism, and it is taken from those who gave such value.

The Lord’s angles surround the righteous and bring fear to their enemies. Fidelity is Divine testimony. Even as faith brought you here, the Lord still gives hope. When one sees the face of the Holy One, all one has become meaningless.

Sex is a dangerous thing. The Lord intended it as part of the covenant that bound one man to one woman. When one walks outside this alliance, the more honor bound family may demand that honor be restored. If one leaves his sin and converts to the Lord, even as the Savior forgives, so must we.

Fortune proceeds a fall. Desolation may be decreed, but there is the hope of deliverance. Our Provider brings us though the time of greatest pain, so we may speak life to a fallen world as Genesis 50:20 says, “As for you, you meant evil against me, but God meant it for good in order to bring about this present result, to preserve many people alive.” NASU

Fear holds the Child of God back so that he cannot see his bother. What one fears is often one’s savior. Only in the deepest despair can one release to see the Savior.

Leave what keeps you from the Lord. Find life. Be separate, even in blessing.
