He called his name Israel
God changed Jacob's name to Israel in Gen 35:10. He changed it from "Heel-catcher" to "led by God".When we seek to draw closer to God, to give our lives to God knowing that all we have and all that we are is God's, then this should be our desire, too...for God to consider our name "led by God". Our lives need to reflect that we are led by God. Our speech and our actions, even our thought lives must, if we desire the closest fellowship and greatest intimacy, be led by God.
The question we can pose to ourselves is: "What areas of my life are NOT led by God?". Are my finances, my children, my marriage, my job, my hobbies, my ??? led by God?
Commit to God today to allow our Loving Heavenly Father to lead us in all areas of our lives and...
Pray with me that we too might be called "Led by God"...
=======================
Gen 35:10 And God said unto him, Thy name is Jacob: thy name shall not be called any more Jacob, but Israel shall be thy name: and he called his name Israel.
