That as a stranger in the land where i am now, i and my children will posses the land and inherit the good things in the land, all of God blessings through Chrit righteousness
Jacob was blessed because not only did Esau sell his birthright which was now Jacob 's and he deserved to be blessed. But Isaac was about to bless Esau when he knew God had said that the elder will serve the younger. Jacob tricked his father into believing he was his brother and God probably loved his creativity. Who knows? Esau may have actually held on to all his father owned which he came to actually possess when Jacob ran away. However, the spiritual blessing is not one to give and God supplied Jacob with both. So what he had in the end came directly from God. And you must admire Jacob 's creativity. Sometimes, God does allow things like that to happen. He would not stop you, but your actions may have consequence. Like Saul when he disobeyed God and lost his kingdom. Or David when he commited murder and lost the fruit of it. Rebecca saved her family, I think. Like Joab. He may have killed Absalom and David never forgave him.But he saved Israel. These things come back to haunt us. Solomon killed him because he had killed too many innocent people and had been part of a rebellion the same reason he killed Absalom.
Behold The Lord with me and will keep me in all the places I go no matter what I go through He will bring me into the promised land He will not leave me I have the assurance that He will do what He promised in His word.
This particular verse to me is talking about the promises of God concerning his faithful children. because there are five basic things to consider here. 1. I am with thee that is God 's presence. 2. will keep thee in all places whither thou goes, God 's protection. 3.and will bring thee again into this land God 's promises. 4.for I will not leave thee God 's assurance 5. until I have done that which I have spoken to thee of God 's fulfillment.
As believers we should cultivate the habit of hearing from God. When we feel weak, lonely and troubled, the ability to hear His voice brings hope alive in us and strengthens us within to carry on.
The words "rose up early" are also used when Abraham was taking Isaac to sacrifice and also when sending Hagar away. The early hours are precious before worldly happenings intrude.
Likewise Jesus used the night time and early hours for prayer and meditation.
Andreatta AbebreseTetteh on Genesis 28 - 12 years ago
Jacob took the PILLOW of stone and set it up as a PILLAR of worship to the Lord God almighty. May we likewise turn every stony situation in our lives into worship for the Bible says that all things work together for good to them that love God are the called according to His purpose.
Likewise Jesus used the night time and early hours for prayer and meditation.
