These
words spoken by Jacob and recorded in our verse for today were
uttered at a time that Jacob saw a vision at night of a stairway
reaching from earth to heaven. Angels were going up and down the
stairway. It was, of course, God who had given him the vision and
had talked to him. The next day Jacob named the place Bethel,
meaning the “House of God.” This was a special vision of God's
presence but God had been with Jacob before that. Jacob should have
known that God is everywhere and that He was always near to him. So
it is with us, and it's our promise to keep. We don't need a special
vision to prove to us that God is with us. We might be like Jacob who
said, 'I was not aware of it,' but we can at anytime also say as
Jacob said, 'surely the Lord is in this place,' because he always is.
Today, we can hold this promise and know for certain God is with us
wherever we go, whatever we do, whatever we say.
