Come to Me - Journaling Prayer by LaWanda

LaWanda – Jesus, my precious Lord and Savior, I am undone in your presence. ♪♪ “All my words fall short. I’ve got nothing new. How could I express all my gratitude? O Lord, I know it’s not much but I’ve nothing else fit for a King,” ♪♪ so I will just say Hallelujah, Lord. Hallelujah! Hallelujah! My precious, precious Lord.

I see you today as Christ of the Andes, on the mountain top with your arms outstretched wide as you survey the world below. This is a beautiful picture, Lord, but it seems kind of sterile. There is no one with you, Lord. And then the statue seems to come to life and you shout, “Come! Come! Come! All ye who labor and are heavy laden, come to Me and I will give you rest.” Now the mountain seems to come alive too, Lord, as people hear your voice and scramble to get to you. We are all weary, Lord. We have been carrying our burdens for way too long and they are heavy.

Jesus – LaWanda, my dear one, YES, come, come and come again but you do not have to wait until I seem to come alive in your eyes. I don’t come alive. I AM ALIVE! I AM LIFE! And you never have to scramble to get to me. The moment you turn your eyes toward Me, I am there. And as a believer, it is even better, for I am within you. So listen to Me now, dear one, all you have to do is turn from whatever it is that has captured your attention and look at Me. By turning to Me, you are saying, “I need you, Jesus. I want you, Jesus. What I’ve been doing is not working. I can’t do this on my own, Lord. Will you help me?” All of that in one glance. Nothing more is needed, dear one, because I know you so well. Once a day or a thousand times, I am here waiting for you to come home to Me again. And remember, dear one, with Me every “again” is…A…GAIN!

Lasting Impact

July 13, 2023
by Pastor Chuck Swindoll
Scriptures: Genesis 48:5, 10–11, 14–16
“Now I am claiming as my own sons these two boys of yours, Ephraim and Manasseh, who were born here in the land of Egypt before I arrived. They will be my sons, just as Reuben and Simeon are. (Genesis 48:5)
Because Joseph had been a special son to Jacob, Joseph's sons were special to their grandfather as well. The NIV study notes on this portion of the text state that Jacob, at his death, adopted Joseph's first two children as his own and in doing that divided Joseph's inheritance in the land of Canaan between them. "Joseph's first two sons would enjoy equal status with Jacob's first two sons [Reuben and Simeon] and in fact would eventually supersede them. Because of an earlier sinful act, Reuben would lose his birthright to Jacob's favorite son, Joseph, and thus to Joseph's sons."

All of this becomes greatly significant later in the history of the nation of Israel, and it makes this last scene with Jacob and his grandsons extremely important.

Perhaps it is my own practical nature, but I see something of great value for us here also. It has to do with how and where Jacob died in contrast to how and where we die. Jacob died on his own bed, at home. Rarely does that occur today. We have fallen upon strange times. Birth has become more and more of a family affair, often with the entire family being present in the "birth suite" when the baby is born. A wonderful change from the way things used to be! On the other hand, death has become relegated more and more to the cold and sometimes uncaring comfort of professionals and the sterile environment of a busy hospital and, later, the funeral home or graveside chapel. Only in recent years have we begun to see the hospice movement growing, where people are allowed to spend their last days at home with those they love to support them and encourage them in their final earthly journey.

Joseph's sons were with their grandfather as he approached those final moments. They felt his hand on their foreheads and heard his tender, wise words of blessing. "May God bless the nation as He blesses you." What a moment! Perhaps Manasseh and Ephraim were kneeling beside their granddad. What a lasting impact for good on the lives of those two young men!
