Genesis 35:3 And let us arise, and go up to Bethel; and I will make there an altar unto God, who answered me in the day of my distress, and was with me in the way which I went.
Saints, whom do you lean upon when you are in distress.
We always fall into distress and look upon our friends and family. But do they really help us.
Israel said Lord had helped me in distress. When was faced with betrayal, insults, humiliation whom do you look upon?
So what would I need to do to get Lord's help?
The answer is given in previous verse.
Genesis 35:2 Then Jacob said unto his household, and to all that were with him, Put away the strange gods that are among you, and be clean, and change your garments:
What do we need to do?
1. Put away strange gods.
Who are your gods? Anything that is more honourable for you than spending time with the Lord is a god for you. Is watching TV robbing time for fellowship, Is spending time on internet or Facebook more important for you.
2. Clean yourselves.
Be Holy as I am Holy, present your bodies as a supreme sacrifice for the Lord.
3. Change your garments.
Garments are things which cover your bodies. They cover your shame. Some people say clothes make man.
Some get pride in wearing costly clothes. Hence you should remove your pride and humble under the mighty hand of God.
Saints, when you depend on Lord and Lord alone you will never be ashamed.
Never trust anyone but Lord alone.
God bless
