On the run, Jacob has a dream in which he meets God. In his dream, the wonder of God is evident as he sees God’s supremacy and God’s servants. He hears the will of God explained as God confirms His favor on Jacob, His future for Jacob and the fence about Jacob. When Jacob awakens from his dream he expresses his worship of God in both his attitudes and actions. He made a dedication, then a declaration, and finally a decision. Jacob is on a journey of discovering what it is like to know the presence of God who will fulfill His promises. It’s a journey of faith, the same kind of journey that we are on as we recognize God’s presence and His power to keep His promises.
