We all experience “dark nights,” seasons in our lives when circumstances leave us feeling vulnerable and unsure about the future. Can you look back and remember an encounter with God in a difficult season that changed you - a moment so monumental it shook you to the core of your being and left you a different person? Or maybe that’s what you need today. In Genesis 28:10-22, after all the manipulation and deceit to get his father’s blessing, Jacob is running for his life and uncertain about his future. How is an unexpected encounter with God in the dark night of his life the beginning of something new? And what does it mean for the dark night of our lives today?
