“Then
Jacob came safely to the city.” Genesis 33:18
God had promised Jacob that He would
go with him on his journey. God had promised Jacob that He would bring him back
to the land of Abraham. We have seen in the past five chapters that the life of
Jacob was not easy. He faced deception, threats, violence, and the general
torments of the world. But now we see that God has done exactly what He
promised. He has brought Jacob safely home.
God has called us through Jesus
Christ to be His children. When He brought us into His family He promised us
that He would bring us safely home to Him in heaven. The way may not be easy.
We may stumble along the road or wander where we shouldn’t, but God has
promised to bring us home to Him. We cannot merit our invitation to heaven nor
can we merit God’s favor along the way. It is by His invitation that we come to
Him and by His grace that we arrive at home.
Dear Father, Uphold our hearts in
the precious promise that You will bring us home. Amen.
