Judah gets a chance to publicly repent for his betrayal of Joseph by offering himself as a slave to Joseph in Benjamin's place. This probably did his heart alot of good. It reminds me of when Peter got to tell Jesus three times that he loved him despite previously denying him three times. God has graciously given me second chances to succeed at circumstances I previously failed which has brought healing to my heart.
ReplyDeleteMatthew 14:22-23
ReplyDeleteImmediately after this, Jesus insisted that his disciples get back into the boat and cross to the other side of the lake, while he sent the (thousands of) people home. After sending them home, he went up into the hills by himself to pray. Night fell while he was there alone.
This is such an amazing picture of Jesus making time for himself to pray. He had a few thousand people in front of Him who were following Him everywhere, and He had His disciples to take care of. That is a lot of responsibility for one guy, but his pressing goal is to find some time to pray. He simply sends the thousands of people away (after feeding them) and sends His disciples out on a boat so that He can get away. This was his second attempt at this during this same day, but the first time people tracked Him down to hang out with Him.
After spending a Sunday leading worship at church and doing Youth Group at night, I always feel like sleeping. I rarely ever feel like praying after spending hours doing God's work. Last week though, we went to see Brian Welch, the ex-guitar player from Korn. After hearing his testimony my heart was overwhelmed with how great God is and all I wanted to do was spend time with Him. I went home and stayed up until 1:00 in the morning just expressing my gratitude to God for His grace and love. I wonder if this is how Jesus feels all the time while He is traveling around and performing miracles. It is very obvious that He was longing to spend time in prayer with God.
I wish I could be like that all the time. I hate that my heart wonders off sometimes. I love Jesus heart for His Father. It's beautiful.
