<br />
In this world of fast paces and easy fixes, one word can help you to focus on God, draw on his strength and HEAR him through your daily tasks. How is your life affected by One Word?<br />

<span style="font-size: 11pt;">Today I encourage you to know the importance of </span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"><i><b>blessing someone.</b></i></span></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.800000190734863px; margin-bottom: 0cm;">

<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.800000190734863px; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: 11pt;">Genesis 32 ... </span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"><i>unless you bless me ...</i></span></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.800000190734863px; margin-bottom: 0cm; margin-left: 1.25cm;">
<span style="font-size: 11pt;">"So Jacob was left alone, and a man wrestled with him till daybreak. When the man saw that he could not overpower him, he touched the socket of Jacob’s hip so that his hip was wrenched as he wrestled with the man. Then the man said, “Let me go, for it is daybreak.” </span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">But Jacob replied, “</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"><b>I will not let you go unless you bless me</b></span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">.” </span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">The man asked him, “What is your name?” </span>“<span style="font-size: 11pt;">Jacob,” he answered. </span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Then the man said, “Your name will no longer be Jacob, but Israel, because you have struggled with God and with humans and have overcome.”</span></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.800000190734863px; margin-bottom: 0cm; margin-left: 2.5cm;">

<span style="font-size: 11pt;"><i>There is a deep yearning in our lives to experience blessing. Jacob wrestles with an angel of the Lord and refuses to let Him go unless he is blessed by Him. Jacob knew his life was filled with chaos, lies, deception, struggle and a strange 'wishful thinking' kind of hope. As he yearned for a blessing, his life was being laid out in front of him. The blessing he experienced was a new name, a redeemed identity. God comes into our life to save us, redeem us, lead us in a new direction – this is His blessing!</i></span></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.800000190734863px; margin-bottom: 0cm; margin-left: 2.5cm;">

<span style="font-size: 11pt;"><i><b>Pause </b>today ... pause and see how involved God is in our lives – every part of our life. As you pause, give thanks to God for loving us so fully that our lives look different after we encounter Him!</i></span></div>

“<span style="font-size: 11pt;">I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the Lord’s holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—<b>that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God</b>. </span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever!

<span style="font-size: 11pt;"><i>Paul desires God to bless the Church. Paul is moved by the Holy Spirit to speak words of blessing to the people of Ephesus and also to us.

<span style="font-size: 11pt;"><i><b>Pause </b>today ... pause and receive these words of God to bless you ... to bless you in knowing who God is and how active and intentional He is toward you and I ... as you <b>receive</b> this blessing of God pause and ask Jesus to direct you to <b style="background-color: yellow;">someone</b> who is yearning, like Jacob, to be blessed ... then go to them and speak that blessing!

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: large;">You are invited, called to join us in reading through the Book of Acts with each of us at </span><b><span style="font-size: large;">Asker</span></b><span style="font-size: large;">.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: large;">As each of us in our household takes some intentional time to read </span><b><span style="font-size: large;">One Chapter</span></b><span style="font-size: large;"> of Acts each day, we will be joined in a growing unity around God's Word.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: large;">We encourage each of you to be creative in how to <b><i>include each</i></b> family member. Read together or take some intentional time in separate spaces to read. As it works out, take some time to discuss what you have found in the daily chapter or perhaps write what you experience in a notebook or journal.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: large;">At the end of 28 days we will plan to get <i><b>together as a church</b></i> and encourage and bless each other with what has impacted us or stood out to us or spoke to us during the time of reading!</span></span><br />
