Skip to content ANGLICAN COMMUNION DAILY FOUNTAIN DEVOTIONAL FOR TODAY.
The Topic of Daily Fountain Devotional for 21st August 2024 Is “Move On! Get Moving!”
Read: Genesis 35: 16-29(NKJV)
16 Then they journeyed from Bethel. And when there was but a little distance to go to Ephrath, Rachel labored in childbirth, and she had hard labor.
17 Now it came to pass, when she was in hard labor, that the midwife said to her, “Do not fear; you will have this son also.”
18 And so it was, as her soul was departing (for she died), that she called his name Ben-Oni; but his father called him Benjamin.
19 So Rachel died and was buried on the way to Ephrath (that is, Bethlehem).
20 And Jacob set a pillar on her grave, which is the pillar of Rachel’s grave to this day.
21 Then Israel journeyed and pitched his tent beyond the tower of Eder.
22 And it happened, when Israel dwelt in that land, that Reuben went and lay with Bilhah his father’s concubine; and Israel heard about it.Now the sons of Jacob were twelve:
23 the sons of Leah were Reuben, Jacob’s firstborn, and Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, and Zebulun;
24 the sons of Rachel were Joseph and Benjamin;
25 the sons of Bilhah, Rachel’s maidservant, were Dan and Naphtali;
26 and the sons of Zilpah, Leah’s maidservant, were Gad and Asher. These were the sons of Jacob who were born to him in Padan Aram.
27 Then Jacob came to his father Isaac at Mamre, or Kirjath Arba (that is, Hebron), where Abraham and Isaac had dwelt.
28 Now the days of Isaac were one hundred and eighty years.
29 So Isaac breathed his last and died, and was gathered to his people, being old and full of days. And his sons Esau and Jacob buried him.
ANGLICAN COMMUNION DEVOTIONAL OUTLINE FOR 21ST AUGUST 2024.
Christian maturity is to truly declare: “We are hard-pressed on every side, yet not crushed; we are perplexed, but not in despair” (2 Cor.4:8). God had told Jacob to return unto the land of his fathers, promising to be with him (Gen. 31:3). On his journey back home, his beloved wife, Rachel, had a hard labour and died. Jacob did not blame it on the innocent baby as Rachel did while her soul was departing, neither did he question God who promised to be with him as he journeyed home. He knew that God can be with a man and yet permit that he walk through the valley of the shadow of death(Psa.23:4).
After the burial of Rachel, Israel moved on. He never allowed grief to make him lose focus of his journey. He journeyed! God is saying, “Move on!”Get moving! It’s not time to apportion blames. Jacob eventually made it home. What are your grievances? What misfortune has befallen you that has sapped you of the courage to move on? The Lord Jesus endured the cross by focusing on the joy that was set before him. Keep your gaze on Him (Heb.12: 2). Forget the past and move on!
PRAYER: Lord, give me the courage to move on and not wander from your pathway.
