Genesis 28:10-15 And Jacob went out from Beersheba, and went toward Haran.… I. GOD IS NEAR MEN WHEN THEY LITTLE THINK IT. "He is near — 1. When we are not aware of it. 2. When sin is fresh upon us. 3. When we are in urgent need of Him. II. GOD IS NEAR MEN TO ENGAGE IN THEIR RELIGIOUS TRAINING. 1. God assured Jacob of His abiding presence with him. 2. Jacob was taught to recognize God in all things. 3. He was taught to feel his entire dependence upon God throughout the journey of life. III. GOD IS ALWAYS NEAR MEN TO EFFECT THEIR COMPLETE SALVATION. Intercourse has been established between earth and heaven; the whole process of man's salvation is under the superintendence of God. (D. Rhys Jenkins.) Parallel Verses KJV: And Jacob went out from Beersheba, and went toward Haran. |
