The revival of Jacob and his dysfunctional family (Genesis 45:25-28). The "void" is when you stop exercising your faith. The enjoyment of our privilege in God is made to depend upon a constant exercise of faith. Work out your present problems and difficulties by applying God’s character and nature, as revealed in His past provisions. Do not limit your confidence in God to just positive circumstances.
Where can we go from Him
Except into 'The Void'?
When we leave His presence,
We forget whose we are.
Like a young man lacking sense,
We are shapeless and empty.
His Spirit moves to fill it,
But when faith is dead
His promise is nullified.
The walls are broken down,
The vineyard is ruined.
O Jacob, remember Peniel!
Limp back into His presence!
Order your ways before Him,
As if He is present still!
And He will fill up 'The Void'
Like He filled the whole earth.
O Lord, will you fill us up,
To all the fullness of God?
