A Ripple Effect
The Lord is saying: Come to Me all who are weary and heavy laden, and I will give you rest. This is My promise to you. This is My word for you today. I know many of you are tired as this journey has been very long, indeed. But this journey requires endurance, and it is I who gives you the strength to carry on. I only ask of you to take the next step in faith as I Am guiding you to Me in a way that reaches many others along the way. Sometimes I have you wait for a time before taking the next step, both to work out your patience and to place things in order for the appointed time. When you pray a specific prayer, it sometimes takes a while for Me to arrange everything for its fulfillment, for everything is connected. When I move something even a little it causes a ripple effect in numerous ways. But I see it all and I have everything in My control, so relent your burdens to Me and I will fulfill the desires of your heart in time. My loves, you can trust Me, for My love for you is absolute.
Gen 28:10-22 (ESV) Jacob left Beersheba and went toward Haran. 11 And he came to a certain place and stayed there that night, because the sun had set. Taking one of the stones of the place, he put it under his head and lay down in that place to sleep. 12 And he dreamed, and behold, there was a ladder set up on the earth, and the top of it reached to heaven. And behold, the angels of God were ascending and descending on it! 13 And behold, the LORD stood above it and said, “I am the LORD, the God of Abraham your father and the God of Isaac. The land on which you lie I will give to you and to your offspring. 14 Your offspring shall be like the dust of the earth, and you shall spread abroad to the west and to the east and to the north and to the south, and in you and your offspring shall all the families of the earth be blessed. 15 Behold, I am with you and will keep you wherever you go, and will bring you back to this land. For I will not leave you until I have done what I have promised you.” 16 Then Jacob awoke from his sleep and said, “Surely the LORD is in this place, and I did not know it.” 17 And he was afraid and said, “How awesome is this place! This is none other than the house of God, and this is the gate of heaven.” 18 So early in the morning Jacob took the stone that he had put under his head and set it up for a pillar and poured oil on the top of it. 19 He called the name of that place Bethel, but the name of the city was Luz at the first. 20 Then Jacob made a vow, saying, “If God will be with me and will keep me in this way that I go, and will give me bread to eat and clothing to wear, 21 so that I come again to my father's house in peace, then the LORD shall be my God, 22 and this stone, which I have set up for a pillar, shall be God's house. And of all that you give me I will give a full tenth to you.”
