What if We all Cared?

I paused to read my Bible. I definitely needed it as I haven’t sat and done this in a while (1-2weeks?). Yes, seriously off track. Too much other going on and not bothering to pause my day for Him.

Not good..

Genesis 33:¹² Esau said, “Let’s break camp and set out, and I’ll go with you.”

¹³ But Jacob said to him, “My master knows that the children aren’t strong and that I am responsible for the nursing flocks and cattle. If I push them hard for even one day, all of the flocks will die. ¹⁴ My master, go on ahead of your servant, but I’ve got to take it easy, going only as fast as the animals in front of me and the children are able to go, until I meet you in Seir.”

¹⁵ Esau said, “Let me leave some of my people with you.”

But Jacob said, “Why should you do this since my master has already been so kind to me?” ¹⁶ That day Esau returned on the road to Seir, ^{17 but Jacob traveled to Succoth. He built a house for himself but made temporary shelters for his animals; therefore, he named the place Succoth.}

Dinah and the conflict at Shechem

¹⁸ Jacob arrived safely at the city of Shechem in the land of Canaan on his trip from Paddan-aram, and he camped in front of the city. ^{19 He bought the section of the field where he pitched his tent from the sons of Hamor, Shechem’s father, for one hundred qesitahs. 20} Then he set up an altar there and named it El Elohe Israel.

Wow! 😁🤯🙌 Exactly the answer I need at exactly this minute.

~ set your pace.. set a pace healthy for all 3 of us

~ remember this is temporary

~ set up an alter/honor Him 🙏📖

Honestly, the last time I sat down to fully give Him my time, He showed me ..

Genesis 33:14 My master, go on ahead of your servant, but I’ve got to take it easy, going only as fast as the animals in front of me and the children are able to go, until I meet you in Seir.”

He was trying to talk to me about the pace I like to keep and the pace my family needs.. I listened enough to make a note in the margin of my Bible, but, not enough to apply it to my life.. 🤔🙄

Today is a while new day and my ears are open to Him and freshly cleaned!!
