-JESUS IS NEAR -Genesis 28:10-22 --- Surely the LORD is in this place, and I did not know it. --Genesis 28:16 --- Jacob had learned well from his parents that the Lord is always by his side. His father Isaac had blessed him and told him to find a wife from among his mother's family (Gen. 28:1-4). He followed that directive and traveled toward Haran.
As Jacob slept, the Lord came to him in a dream and said, "I am with you and will keep you wherever you go...; for I will not leaave you" (V.15). When he awoke, he knew that he had heard from God, and said, "Surely the LORD is isn this place"' (v.16). Confident of God's presence, he committed himself to following Him with his life (vv.20-21).
If we have received Jesus as our Savior (John 1:12), we can be confident and take comfort in the truth that He is always present with us (Heb. 13:5). Like Jacob, may our response to His love be wholehearted devotion. Jesus is always calling for the sheep, to come to Him. He wants you to "Come Just As You Are." You will never be good enough to come to Him on your own. We ALL need Jesus to lead, guide, and direct our steps each step of each day. Won't you Come to the Savior today? ---- Our loving God is always near--forever by our side. Reach out to Him. "I will never leave you nor forsake you." JESUS~~
