Wherever You Go

Friday, September 18, 2020

In a dream, God spoke to Jacob: "I am with you and will keep you wherever you go." Jacob's reaction to the dream was to focus on the place where it happened. He called it "Beit El," which means "God's House." In a way, Jacob missed the point. It wasn't so much about the place where God appeared. It was that God would be with Jacob regardless of the place, regardless of any place - wherever. God's promise to you is that He will be with you wherever you go. He's there when you are worshipping in His house. He's with you when you are in the parking lot and when you walk into your home. He's there in your mountaintop experiences and in your valleys, in your good times and your bad, when you're doing great in holiness, and when you've fallen in sin. So don't dwell on your situation, on how things are going, or even how you're doing. It's not about where you are. It's about Who is with you. Rejoice in that. He's not the God of where. He's the God of wherever!
