Jacob’s Dream at Bethel, As Jacob travels, he stops for the night. He has a dream of a ladder reaching heaven. Angels are ascending and descending on it. God appears, reiterating the covenant made with Abraham promising land, descendants, and blessings for all nations through Jacob.


It reads in Genesis 28:10-17 Easy: Jacob left Beersheba and he went towards Haran. He came to a place where he stayed for the night, because the sun had gone down. He took a stone and he put it under his head. Then he lay down and he went to sleep. He had a dream. In the dream, he saw some steps. The steps went up from the earth into heaven. God’s angels were going up and down the steps. The Lord stood at the top of the steps. He said, ‘I am the Lord. I am the God of your grandfather Abraham, and the God of Isaac, your father. I will give the land that you are lying on to you and to your descendants. Your descendants will be as many as the dust of the earth. They will go to the west and to the east. They will go to the north and to the south. Through you and your descendants I will bless all the families of people on the earth. I am with you. I will take care of you wherever you go. I will bring you back to this land. I will not leave you until I have done what I promised to do for you.’ Jacob woke from his sleep. He thought, ‘The Lord is in this place and I did not know it.’ Jacob was afraid. He said, ‘How great this place is! This must be the house of God. This is the gate of heaven.’
Father God, I thank You and praise You. Even in stressful times, You bring a peace that surpasses all understanding into our lives. As Jacob rested on his journey, You revealed a vision of divine connection, a ladder bridging heaven and earth. Just as You assured Jacob of Your presence, I ask for Your guidance and protection in my own journey. Let me see glimpses of Your plan and feel the assurance of Your promises, even when the path is uncertain. Give me the courage not to give up and to move ahead the way You want me to. Thank You and praise You for being a God who is near and dear to our hearts. A God who stands beside me wherever I go. When I don’t have the words to speak, You know the way. My faith rise like the ladder in Jacob’s dream, ever reaching toward You. Help me recognize Your angels in my life and the sacredness of Your presence in unexpected places. I love You, thank You, praise You and give You all the honor and glory in Jesus Precious Name Amen.
