Jacob's Dream at Bethel
Genesis 28:10-22
God chose Jacob without regard to his past, but with complete regard to the past of his father and his grandfather. God is a covenant-keeping God. His promises to Abraham were eternal. The covenant did not end when Abraham died-the promises included Abraham's seed, Jacob. As Christians, we should rejoice: It is because of our covenant relationship with Jesus Christ that we can be assured God is always with us. Because of Jesus Christ, God chooses to look beyond our faults, forgive our sins, and continue to bless us. Look at what's happening around the world today. The nightly news is replete with senseless acts of violence. Despite this fact, can you point to specific examples where you believe God's presence is at work?
Our involvement in our careers and families make it difficult for many of us to spend "quiet time" with the Lord. Yet, if we are to hear Him, we have to make time. Determine to find time early in the morning or late in the evening that is just for you and God. During this time close yourself away from others, and turn off any radios or televisions. Begin by praying, then read the Scriptures. Allow God to speak to you through His Word.
