Genesis 28:14 Your descendants will be like the dust of the earth, and you will spread out to the west and to the east, to the north and to the south. All peoples on earth will be blessed through you and your offspring.
Lord, I cling to the promises of Genesis 28:15–that you are with me, that You will watch over me wherever I go, that you will bring me back to You, that You will not leave me. Help me never to forget Your promises. Even when life feels overwhelming and chaotic, You are with me, You are watching over me, You will bring me back to You, You will not leave me.
Genesis 28:15 I am with you and will watch over you wherever you go, and I will bring you back to this land. I will not leave you until I have done what I have promised you.”
Lord, Forgive me that I struggle so with worry, doubt, and fear, which happens so very often. Help me, even in my fear, to remember Your promises. Bring me back to You. Help me to lay my worries and fears at Your feet. Wrap me in You peace.
Genesis 28:16 When Jacob awoke from his sleep, he thought, “Surely the Lord is in this place, and I was not aware of it.”
Lord, I don’t deserve the love You so freely lavish upon me, but I am so very grateful for it. I don’t deserve the promises You have given me, but I am so very grateful for them. Help me to lay my burdens down, Lord. Help me to trust and believe. Amen.
Genesis 28:17 He was afraid and said, “How awesome is this place! This is none other than the house of God; this is the gate of heaven.”
Have a blessed day.
I like this passage because of the reminders about humanness- “ Surely the Lord was in this place, and I did not know it”
I am thankful to be reminded that God is always with us, whether we are Seeking Him, or not.
May we all know that peace!
