Our Father's Faithfulness

“Then Jacob departed from Beersheba and went toward Haran. And he camet to a certain place and spent the night there, because the son had set; and he took one of the stones of the place and put it under his head, and lay down in that place. And he had a dream, and behold, a ladder was set on the earth with its top reaching to heaven; and behold, the angels of God were ascending and descending on it. And behold, the Lord stood above it and said, ‘I am the Lord, the God of your father Abraham and the God of Isaac; the land on which you lie, I will give it to you and to your descendants. Your descendants shall also be like the dust of the earth, and you shall spread out to the west and to the east and to the north and to the south’ and in you and in your descendants shall all the familes of the earth be blessed. And behold, I am with you, and will keep you wherever you go, and will bring you back to this land; for I will not leave you until I have done what I have promised you.’” Genesis 28:10-15


Jacob was discouraged, fearful, regretful, homeless, lost his family and was likely VERY tired of all that was happening in his life. Yet God was there with him every step of his journey and did not forget His promise to this family of the future of His plan. It is important for us to remember how faithful He is, even when we are not.
