19 Apr 2015; Gen 13
Background:
Abram came out of Egypt and went back to Negeb. The first place he went was back to the place when he first set up his altar between Bethel and Ai.
Getting Back.
When things goes tough, or did not turn up well - it is about repent, a turn back to God. Abram created a mess in Egypt, and the first is to get back to God in the midst of uncertainty, in the midst of lost..
Breaking through.
At the altar, Abram called upon the Lord.
When he is back, troubles did not end there - quarrels broke out between Lot's and Abram's herdsmen. Abram focus was on God, and he gave Lot the first choice to choose the land.
I have been wondering, purposeless, things did not really turned out well in work (promotion) or even at the business I wanted to set up, or even creating passive income or going to China...
It is therefore not about biting the bullet and pushing the missed agenda through, it is about going back to God.
The focus is about living a life that is God centered, fixing on God in the midst of an unfulfilled live, or when things do not turn out well.
God in a declaration, I should stop. I should now turn back to you. My focus is to seek you for a breakthrough and live a life based on your calling.
Give me a 10000 days or more from now, that I may live a life for you.
Today is DAY01/10000
Here I build an altar at my study place, I called to you Lord as I seek your peace in the midst of so many unsettled tasks. Let me find motivation and purpose and growth in you, and start off today by first focusing my life in you. Amen.
