Please read Genesis 28.
Meditate on verse 12.
He had a dream, and behold,
a ladder was set on the Earth with its top reaching to Heaven;
and behold, the angels of God
were ascending and descending on it.
In Genesis
11, the people tried to build a tower to reach into heaven. In Genesis 28,
Jacob dreamed about a ladder coming down from heaven to earth. The LORD stood
above the ladder; angels ascended and descended on it. God spoke to Jacob and
blessed him.
God came
down to man. There is no amount of human effort that can reach God. God reaches
down to man. He walked with Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden; He walked with
Enoch; He walked with Noah; He walked with Abraham. God walks and talks with
those who have a relationship with Him.
Every other
world religion is man’s attempt to reach God, vain efforts to accomplish what
only Christ could do. Jesus Himself said in John 1:51, “Truly, truly, I say to
you, you will see the heavens opened and the angels of God ascending and
descending on the Son of Man.”
Jesus is the
ladder in Jacob’s dream! He is the only way to God, the only way to heaven. He
came to earth 2,000 years ago, so you can get to God! Praise Him today for
being your Way, your Truth, and your Life (John 14:6).
Pray Genesis
28:13 and 15 over yourself and those for whom you stand guard as a faithful,
prayerful watchman (Isaiah 62:6-7).
“You are
the LORD, the God of my family!
Be with _________ and me and keep us wherever we go.
In Your name, Jesus~”
