Jacob
There's something divine that happens when you're under the stars at night by a warm fire. The dancing glow and gentle noises of a summer night invites you into nature's intimacy. Twilight conversations hold no agenda, leaving us open to ancient threads of truth and wonder. These fireside chats hold timeless truths passed down from the beginning of time.
The Old Testament is full of rich stories which show us who God has always been. These stories also reveal who God is calling to be in this moment.
This week we learn about Jacob - a man who was always jockeying for a way to get ahead, even if it meant manipulating and cheating those closest to him. But as he grew older, he had an encounter with the Lord that changed him and the world forever. Sometimes we grow tired and need a fresh encounter with the Lord. When we experience the Lord in this same way we can experience a new sense of hope, meaning, purpose and calling.
