Jacob is a blessed man because of the grace and mercy of God upon his life. God is stirring Jacob and he wants to go back to the land of his father. Our inner desires may not match God's direction and we need to listen and trust in Him.

Timothy was charged and encouraged by the Apostle Paul that he might war a good warfare. We are fighting a spiritual battle against principalities and powers in this life .God has gifted each of us and given us His Word so we can fight against the spiritual battle.

The disciples have a place in the plan of the Lord and are given a mission in preparation of the Passover. Jesus desired to be with his disciples one last time before the cross. If Jesus were to show up at your door would you give him your best room and every area of your heart?

The world in which we live in is just as mixed up as Jacob's time. That God would work in this situation shows His mighty work of grace. How can we resolve conflict?

The Bible tells us when the end time come Jerusalem will be attacked and there will be war, it will be the Day of the Lord, the nations will come against Israel. When you see these things take place know that the Son of man is coming.

We can do exceedingly above what we think, if God can do it in Paul's life He can make a change in your live as well. God has given you everything you need for the task before you.
