‘Know that I am with you and will keep you wherever you go, and will bring you back to this land; for I will not leave you until I have done what I have promised you.’ Then Jacob woke from his sleep and said, ‘Surely the Lord is in this place—and I did not know it!’ And he was afraid, and said, ‘How awesome is this place! This is none other than the house of God, and this is the gate of heaven.’

– Genesis 28.15

Memory Verse: “Know that I am with you and will keep you wherever you go, and will bring you back to this land.” (Genesis 28.15-17)

Sometimes we may not even know that God is with us. Jacob was in deep fear and he didn’t even know that God was right with him. When we are caught up in our own emotion, we cannot sense God’s presence. That’s why God appeared to Jacob while he was asleep. Let us calm our hearts. Let us understand that God is right with us. And let us trust that God will be with us, keep us, and guide us.

Lord, calm my heart. Amen.

내가 너와 함께 있어 네가 어디로 가든지 너를 지키며 너를 이끌어 이 땅으로 돌아오게 할지라. 내가 네게 허락한 것을 다 이루기까지 너를 떠나지 아니하리라 하신지라. 야곱이 잠이 깨어 이르되 여호와께서 과연 여기 계시거늘 내가 알지 못하였도다.

암송구절: “내가 너와 함께 있어 네가 어디로 가든지 너를 지키며 너를 이끌어 이 땅으로 돌아오게 할지라.” (창세기28:15)

하나님이 함께 하시는데도 우리가 모를 때가 있다. 야곱은 너무 두려움에 빠져 있었기 때문에 하나님이 함께 하시는데도 깨닫지 못했다. 우리가 우리의 감정에 너무 빠져 있으면 하나님이 함께 하시는 것을 깨닫지 못한다. 그래서 하나님은 야곱이 잘 때에 그에게 나타나셨다. 우리의 마음을 고요케 하자. 다시 하나님이 나와 함께 하시는 것을 깨닫자. 그리고 하나님께서 우리와 함께 있고 어디로 가든지 우리를 지키며 인도하실 것을 믿자.

주님, 내 마음을 고요케 하소서. 아멘.
