—Genesis 28:10-22
by: Cheri Appel.
Esau had threatened death as payment for Jacob’s trickery. Worried, frightened, and fearful, Jacob had to flee his family home. He left his mother’s protection and ran alone toward an unknown place and people. Everything familiar was left behind as he rushed away. That night, God spoke to Jacob in a vision. The covenant inherited from his ancestors was repeated. God added a new promise of safety for Jacob. When he awoke, Jacob was calm and confident. Making a life changing commitment to God, he was ready to live as a blessing to all future generations. What vision has God given you? Are you committed to living accordingly?
