Jacob’s Ladder

welcome to the living word of god in genesis chapter 28 verse 10 all the way to the end we find this beautiful story one of the most favorite stories of children as we grow up in a Christian home the story of Jacob sleeping in the wilderness laying his head on that stone he dreamed the dream a ladder placed on the earth reaching to heaven and as he saw in the dream he saw the angels coming down and going up at the end at the highest point of that ladder you find that god sat on it brothers and sisters Jacob was on the run but god was with him brothers and sisters we as sinners sometimes we run and run away from god thinking we can hide but remember god is present everywhere you and I can never hide from god you and I can never run away from god as king David said where can I run when I go to the highest of the highest mountain you are there when i go to the depths of the ocean you are there it’s not because god hates us or is so angry with us that he wants to punish us but it is simply in his grace and mercy that he wish to be with us he longs for us to turn to him he longs to be with us brothers and sisters and that night god was with him and Jacobs could see the angels coming up and down oh I tell you brothers and sisters it is god who reached down to us and not us for we can never go up to his level and that’s where gold comes down to that and it is god who sits alone at the highest of the highest throne there is nobody who is god except Yahweh the living god was it not Satan’s desire to be prepared in god that he fell into sin was it not the desire of Adam and eve to be like god that they fell into sin oh brothers and sisters let us not commit the sin of trying to be like god may we always remember god is with us. Amen.
