I am not worthy of the least of all the deeds of steadfast love and all the faithfulness that you have shown to your servant, for with only my staff I crossed this Jordan, and now I have become two camps. Genesis 32:10
Years earlier, Jacob fled from his house to escape the wrath of Esau. Now he finds himself on the move again, but this time back home where Esau awaits. Jacob’s family has grown and so have his possessions. But faced with the possibility that his brother might want to kill him, Jacob comes to God with humility.
It is a good place to be. Jacob knows his only source of help is with the Lord. No more trickery. No more running away from problems. Honesty and humility as he bows before God.
When I quit playing games with God, when I quit trying to be smarter and better than everyone else, when I bow before God and with honesty and humility declare, “I’m not worthy of the love and faithfulness You have shown me,” then I’m on the right path. Only then will I trust in God to care for me.
