Jacob - Dreaming
(Genesis 28:10-22)
Jacob #2 - In this passage, Jacob must leave his home in the promised land after tricking his brother, Esau, into selling him his birthright and stealing Esau’s blessing from Isaac for himself. Now, Jacob is facing poverty and danger instead of the power and prosperity that he was promised. In this moment where everything is going wrong for him, Jacob meets with God. He sees that there is a connection between Heaven and earth and that through His angels, God provides for and protects his people. This is still true today. God sees you and cares about you, even when you are at your lowest point. And God still invites us to meet with Him today - through Jesus.
Memory verse: “Many are the plans in a person’s heart, but it is the Lord’s purpose that prevails.” -Proverbs 19:21
