SPIRITUAL DAIRY FOR 03-14-2007
My Worship Time Focus: Jacob’s Delaying Causes Problems
Bible Reading & Meditation Reference: Genesis 34:1
Message of the verses: “1 Now Dinah the daughter of Leah, whom she had borne to Jacob, went out to visit the daughters of the land.”
As I learned in yesterday’s lesson, Jacob should have never been where he was in Succoth for it was not where the Lord wanted him to go, and so he causes a lot of trouble for his family and for himself. Dinah, who was Leah’s daughter, decided that she would go out to meet some of the young women of this land, which is not something that she should have been doing since these people worshiped idols and because of that they would not be good company for her. She was the only girl in this family other than the wives of Jacob, but there must have been other girls around for her to keep company with, perhaps some of Jacob’s servants had girls, but at any rate she should not have gone to visit these girls and the proof of this will be seen as this chapter unwinds, a chapter where the name of the Lord is not mentioned and one can see no godly wisdom in it either.
Spiritual meaning for my life today: I should always strive to be in the place where the Lord wants me to be in. Speaking of this I need to determine if it is the Lord’s will for Sandy and I to go to State College Pa., and work again for Tim sometime after we return from Aruba. We find ourselves in a position where it would be better for us if we could again pay our house off and therefore put ourselves in a better position, but to be in the Lord’s will for our lives is better than working at a place where He is not leading us to. I am not saying that this could not be of the Lord, I am just saying I wish to find out.
The Word of God has been refreshing to my heart as I read and studied it this morning, refreshing because of the timing of it.
My Steps of Faith Today: Continue to learn contentment from the Lord, and to continue to seek the Lord to direct my path.
