Genesis 28:16-20 NKJ - 16 Then Jacob awoke from his sleep and said, “Surely the Lord is in this place, and I did not know it.”
17 And he was afraid and said, “How awesome is this place! This is none other than the house of God, and this is the gate of heaven!”
18 Then Jacob rose early in the morning, and took the stone that he had put at his head, set it up as a pillar, and poured oil on top of it.
19 And he called the name of that place Bethel; but the name of that city had been Luz previously.
There is no place like home. I remember growing up as a young adult. I spent most of my life away from my family and home. At first, I thought leaving home was the best choice I ever made. But then I realized how important home is. It is a place of love, good food, and understanding. It was where I also first experienced worship. Oh, how I longed to hear my parents' and siblings' loving voices.
When Jacob was on the run, he feared that he would meet death at the hands of his own twin brother. Away from the place called home, he ran into the House of GOD. Little did he know that it was the best house to run into when in trouble. In spite of his flaws and failures, He was accepted into the House of GOD. GOD was so faithful in His promise to Abraham that He welcomed Jacob into His house so that he could be preserved from death. GOD is too Faithful to disappoint us! Seek GOD'S house today, the perfect place to call home. GOD bless.
