Genesis 28:20-21 - MY God

Then Jacob made a vow, saying, “If God will be with me and will watch over me on this journey I am taking and will give me food to eat and clothes to wear so that I return safely to my father’s household, then the Lord will be my God

God promises Jacob so much more than food, clothes, and safety, but here Jacob takes God as his God, not the God of Abraham or Isaac, but "my God." It may be easy for us to acknowledge a God, but we have to do more. We have to accept God as our God, as the master of our lives, as our sovereign Lord.

Lord, thank you for having a personal relationship with each of us, allowing us to call you "my God." Amen.
