Genesis 28:15-16
God spoke to Jacob in a dream:
"...Know that 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.”
16Then Jacob woke from his sleep and said, “Surely the Lord is in this place—and I did not know it!”
There are times when we awake from a dream so vivid, so real that we wonder, “Did that really happen? Did I really hear those words?” Sometimes those dreams speak to a greater truth in our life, other times the dream merely confuses us. Jacob’s dream revealed God’s presence to him, and gave him great comfort.
God’s promises to Jacob come to us, too – if not in our dreams, then certainly in our baptism. Know, dear ones, that God is with you and will keep you wherever you go.
Peace,
Pastor Jenn
