The Pretender

Read Genesis 27:19-33

Reflection of Tommy:

Like Jacob, we too sometimes pretend who we are not in order to gain approval from others. On the surface, we seem to be 'holy' and right- having it all together, but in the inside we are a broken soul with fear, insecurity, doubt and persistently falling into sin.

We should stop lying to others and also ourselves by pretending, but to confess honestly to God and be truly repented from them. We need to take a first and firm step to seek God and His righteousness.

Through the work of the Spirit in us, God can change us from within to be a genuine person who He intends us to be.

Dear Father, thank You for reminding me to take a firm stand in being a faithful follower of Christ; not just through words but also in action. Help me to see things in Your way and give me a willing and humble heart to change and be more like Christ each day. In Jesus' Name I pray, Amen.
