Genesis 28

BIBLE EXPLORE / OLD TESTAMENT / GENESIS / GENESIS 28

Genesis: Chapter 28


Jacob's Dream (​Genesis 28:10-19)

God's promise for Jacob

It's interesting to notice when Jacob had this dream, promising him of his descendants and his land. After his father, Isaac, had blessed Jacob, he left his home and set off walking to the family of his mother, in the hope that he would find a wife from the daughters of Laban. Jacob did yet not have a wife, a family, or security. This promise from God of a future came when Jacob has nothing, apart from his blessing from his father. 

Seeking God everyday

“Surely the Lord is in this place, and I was not aware of it.” ​Exodus 28:17. Even Jacob, the patriarch of our faith, seems to miss seeing where God was at work. This verse is an encouragement to seek God each day, and join in with what he is already doing in our communities.
