Apart from God, we can do nothing. It is all about Him or its not worth having. As King Solomon said...all human efforts apart from God’s will are meaningless. God is faithful and will show us His will and plan to us. We just need to talk to him :</p>Ramona commented on 'January 17th One Year Bible Readings'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341c5ebf53ef0240a4b4a2ac200c2020-01-17T05:43:55Z2020-01-17T05:43:55ZRamonaAND GOD said to Jacob, Arise, go up to Bethel and dwell there.

<p>AND GOD said to Jacob, Arise, go up to Bethel and dwell there. And make there an altar to God Who appeared to you [in a distinct manifestation] when you fled from the presence of Esau your brother. [Gen. 28:11-22.]<br />
(Genesis 35:1 AMP)</p>
<p>Seven chapters back and twenty years previously, Jacob found himself at Bethel having his first encounter with God. Now God is sending Him back. No matter how prosperous you get, no matter how much God works things out in our lives for His good purpose when we are the called (Romans 8:28) we always must go back to our foundation, or Bethel. When Christ gives the message to John in Revelation He tells the church at Ephesus in spite of all the things they are applauded for, they need to turn back to their first love. (Rev. 2:1-4)</p>
<p>No matter how many passages of scripture we memorize,; no matter how many committees we find ourselves on in our churches; no matter how many folk we bring to Christ if we move from our Jerusalem, the place where we first encountered God, without God, Himself, telling us to move on, we will not be spiritually connected to the One who holds and has purposed our lives.</p>
<p>Grace and peace,<br />
