Grace for your spirit. June 11, 2012

Grace for your spirit
When a man's ways are pleasing to the Lord, He makes even his enemies to be at peace with him. Proverbs 16:7

Jacob dreaded the day that he would cross paths with his brother Esau. He had stolen his brother's birthright and fully expected that Esau would want revenge. In the meantime, Jacob had been serving the Lord. When Esau was coming, Jacob took preventive action. He humbled himself, prepared for action, prayed, and sacrificed. To Jacob's surprise, the healing had already taken place. Esau sought no revenge and was satisfied with what he had. It turns out that God had healed the relationship for them with time and blessings. May we not let past faults and fears keep us from relationships with others. Perhaps the Lord has already healed our breach. Let's set our goals to be pleasing to the Lord, and let Him heal our enemies.
