After Jacob came face to face with Lord, his walk was forever changed. (vs. 25) He now walked with a pronounced limp. This was something people couldn't help but notice. His walk was harder, not easier after his encounter with God. But, he was forever blessed because of it. (vs. 28-29)

In my struggling and wrestling’s with Lord (where He forces me to look at myself spiritually, and see exactly who I am, what I am), often, what’s revealed to me isn't very pretty and I, too, may leave His presence (like Jacob) limping; my walk forever changed. Yet, somehow, I'm stronger and closer to my King.

All of Lot's family; except for his hesitant wife, was saved; being members of Abraham's family!

Thank You, Jesus, for all those times You've taken my hand and pulled me to safety, when I've been too weak to run there myself.

Thank-You, God, for being so merciful that You've literally forced me out of situations that were way too dangerous for me.

Thank-You for revealing to me that, just as You showed mercy to Lot and his household, because of Abraham's love for You ~ You will have mercy on those I love and do same thing for them, whenever we may be in danger, because of my great love for You.
