“Pretty good, under the circumstances,” is often our reply, or at least our thinking, when someone asks how we are doing. I remember what a psychologist often asked, “<\/p>\n

What in the world<\/\n\n<\/em> are you doing <\/p>\n

under the circumstances>?” <\/p>\n

What in the world<\/em> am I doing?<\/p>\n

Am I under the circumstances?<\/p>\n

Jacob had been with Laban for 20 years. God reminded him of His blessing, which God had promised Jacob. Then God told Jacob, “Now arise, get out…return to your family.” God has been visiting me in my comfort zone and putting a burr in my saddle, too. I’m not sure what I’ll do about a sudden car transmission failure. Fix it? Trade it? Give it away? It is time for me to trust and follow God in in at least one other area again. I am definitely praying about it.* <\/p>\n

Genesis 31:12-13
\nAmplified Bible (AMP)
\n12 And He said, Look up and see, all the rams which mate with the flock are streaked, speckled, and mottled; for I have seen all that Laban does to you.
\n13 I am the God of Bethel, where you anointed the pillar and where you vowed a vow to Me. Now arise, get out from this land and return to your native land.Psalm 119:18<\/p>\n

Amplified Bible (AMP)
\n18 Open my eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of Your law.<\/p>\n

Proverbs 24:11-12
\nAmplified Bible (AMP)
\n11 Deliver those who are drawn away to death, and those who totter to the slaughter, hold them back [from their doom].
\n12 If you [profess ignorance and] say, Behold, we did not know this, does not He Who weighs and ponders the heart perceive and consider it? And He Who guards your life, does not He know it? And shall not He render to [you and] every man according to his works?<\/p>\n

Verse of the Day from Bible Gateway:
\nLiving as becomes you] with complete lowliness of mind (humility) and meekness (unselfishness, gentleness, mildness), with patience, bearing with one another and making allowances because you love one another. Ephesians 4:2 AMP<\/p>\n

Prophecy by Christ and Fullfillment<\/p>\n

Matthew 26:32
\nAmplified Bible (AMP)
\n32 But after I am raised up [to life again], I will go ahead of you to Galilee.<\/p>\n

Matthew 28:16-17
\nAmplified Bible (AMP)
\n16 Now the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain to which Jesus had directed and made appointment with them.
\n17 And when they saw Him, they fell down and worshiped Him; but some doubted.<\/p>\n

(Scriptures were copied and posted through BibleGateway.com)
\n*The first three Scriptures were selected last Friday. The others were selected since then. I am amazed at how they tell me to trust, change, and execute God’s plan. The car failure was today and God is definitely using them in my life.
