Digest

Answer from what the passage actually says — stay in the text.

  1. What does this show me about God?

    • God comes to Jacob while he is running away, and promises to stay with him. What does that tell you about God?

  2. What does it show me about people — and about me?

    • Jacob says, "The Lord is in this place, and I did not know it." Where might God be that you have not noticed?

  3. What will I obey this week?

    • What is one place — school, bed, the car — where you will remember this week that God is with you?

  4. Who will I tell?

    • Who is far from home or lonely right now that you could tell about this?

Grow

Growth is God's part, not yours. Do the cycle faithfully and trust Him to give the growth (1 Corinthians 3:6–7).

Pray

God, Jacob was running away and you met him anyway. Thank you that you are in the places I do not expect. Help me remember tonight that you are with me.
