Morning by Morning, July 1 - Peniel--Seeking the Face of God
Good morning, Lord Jesus. I'm seeking Your face and listening for Your voice, as I press in to the place of intimacy in prayer. ...
"And He said, 'Let Me go, for the day breaks.' But (Jacob) said, 'I will not let You go, unless You bless me!' So He said to him, 'What is your name?' He said, 'Jacob.' And He said, 'Your name shall no longer be called Jacob, but Israel; for you have struggled with God and with men, and have prevailed.' Then Jacob asked, saying, 'Tell me Your name, I pray.' And He said, 'Why is it that you ask about My name?' And He blessed him there. So Jacob called that name of that place Peniel: 'For I have seen God face to face, and my life is preserved' " (Genesis 32:26-30, NKJ).
As the dawn of this new day breaks, I want to take hold of You with my heart in prayer. I want to press in and pray through. I want to position myself to trust in Your promises and embrace Your blessings. And from the depths of my spirit, I want to see Your face and hear Your voice.
I will not let You go, because You'll never let me go. Even as I ask for Your blessing, I know I already have it by the grace of God. "Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ" (Ephesians 1:3). Give me grace to live into that truth today. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.
