He called that place Bethel (Genesis 28:19 ( https://biblehub.com/genesis/28-19.htm)). Jacob renamed his location. From then, future generations have come to know that place as Bethel, meaning the House of God.
Today you can anticipate, that as He did for Jacob, God is giving you grace to rename your location; that dry, tough and hard place. That place of waiting. You realize this is your place of divine appointment. God is in that location.
In his flight from home, Jacob was motivated by fear and probably filled with so much regret. He had just cheated his brother Esau out of their father’s blessing. Now, Esau was plotting to murder him.
He was alone, his father Isaac was dying, and Jacob would never see his beloved mother again. In spite of all of that, at the height of Jacob’s pain, God showed up in His glory.
Instead of shaming him, God called, “Jacob! I’ve chosen you!”
Instead of shaming him, God called, “Jacob! I’ve chosen you!”
Fear met the favor of God and Jacob was never the same again. Today, receive the touch of the Holy Spirit upon the eyes of your heart. Be assured that God is present in your pain. Not only that, He doesn’t shame you for your mistakes. Instead, He extends His favor towards you.
Jesus reaches out His hand through your fear, to rescue you.
There was nothing Jacob had done to deserve this favor. God’s favor towards Jacob was not based on merit, it was founded on covenant. Simply put, Jacob was an heir to the promises given to his father and grandfather.
And like Jacob, you are an heir of a covenant, and of a promise through faith in Christ. No matter what has been before, He says, I have a hope and a future for you. (Jeremiah 29:11 ( https://biblehub.com/jeremiah/29-11.htm))
“Life's messy situation or painful journey may be caused by ourselves or the mistakes of others. Our flawed choices may have led to where we are, and yet God shows up for a divine appointment and says, “I choose you!”” –
Blessings!
