A friend gave me these chapters because I've been struggling with things since I have been back from Guatemala and it just seems like more things just keep piling up one by one. I'm in the mood to fix everything because I see things that need to be fixed and my heart goes out to those things. It is just a after mission trip feeling. Really my friend gave me the chapters 29-31 to look at because they were about how Jacob was in a situation for so long without getting what he deserved and he ran away from it but faced it when it found him. I read a little before because I was just interested in what happened before and that is what really caught my attention in chapter 28 of Genesis. I was reading it over and I felt like God was saying this about Guatemala to me and with everything that is going on right now in my life.
"What's more, I will be with you wherever you go. I will someday bring you back safely to this land (aka Guatemala). I will be with you constantly until I have finished giving you everything I have promised (in the states)."-Genesis 28:15
When you read the next 3 chapters, you will see that God does bring Jacob back to the land he was sleeping on. Just a thought I might write more on it later after I have time to look into and think about it deeper and longer.
