“This
is none other than the house of God.” Genesis 28:17
I don’t know about you, but I prefer
a soft pillow to a rock for sleeping. But a rock for a pillow was not Jacob’s
only discomfort. He had been caught in a lying scheme that upset his father,
angered his brother to the point of murder, and got him exiled from home and
the mother he was so deeply attached to. He was alone, displaced, humiliated,
and you could add much to that list. But in that estate, God met him and offered
him comfort and assurance.
When we are God’s children we must
remember that we are not alone. We may feel alone, or displaced, or abandoned,
or forsaken, or even forgotten by God, but we are not forgotten by God. He
knows where we lay our head and He knows the needs of our heart and life. God
met Jacob in Jacob’s darkest hour and gave him precious promises. In our times
of greatest distress, He offers them to us as well.
Dear Father, Thank You for Your
constant love and care. Amen.
