EXPECTED TO BE SNUBBED
A colonel had a man up for not
(Saluting and gave him a good bawl
ing out. Two days later, to his
amazement, the same man passed
him and again did not salute.
“Didn’t I speak to you about salut
ing the other day?” he asked curtly.
“Yes,” replied the culprit, “but I
didn’t salute you today because I
thought you were still mad at me.”

JACOB REALIZES THE
PRESENCE OF GOD
LESSON TEXT—Genesis 28:10-2*
GOLDEN TEXT—The Lord Is nleh unto
all thorn th.it call upon Him, to alt that call
upon Him in truth, —Psalm 143:18.
Crises bring out the real qualities
of man. When they lead him into
the very presence of God, they be
! come an experience, the remem
brance of which can bring blessing
I all through life.
Jacob had such an experience in
our lesson, and it is the more re
markable because he wa* a man i
! whose life was far from commenda- i
I ble. His mother, Rebekah, had de
termined that Jacob was to have
Isaac’s blessing, even though she
had to use falsehood to get it.
Jacob shared the deception
I planned by his mother, and thereby
I he received the blessing of Esau.
Not willing to wait God’s time for ’
the carrying out of His purpose, they
sinned to gain an advantage. Then
to escape the wrath of Esau, he had
to flee.
I. A Revelation of God’s Grace
| (vv. 10-15).
The fugitive was overtaken by
darkness on the second night of his
journey, and made his bed in the
I open. Then came the magnificent
| vision of the ladder to heaven.
Heaven and earth are not separat
| ed. There is away to reach the
throne of God, and there is away
lor God to reacli and bless His peo
-1 pie. The vision of the ladder
j reassured Jacob.
God renewed to Jacob the cov- :
enant with Abraham and with Isaac.
He does not forget. Men make j
treaties only to break them. God
says, “I will not leave thee, until
I have done that which I have spok
en” Cv. 15).
1 In His matchless grace God re- ■
liovod Jacob’s fear by assuring him ;
of His protection; his loneliness by
His divine presence; and his uncor- |
tuinty regarding the future by the
promise of blessing.
Jacob’s hetvt was deeply moved
by liis dream, and as he awoke to
full consciousness, he came to
11. A Realization of God’s Great
ness (vv. 16-19).
Full of holy fear and awe, Jacob
realized the presence of the infinite
God. It is a proper and wholesome
reaction when a man, realizing him- i
self to be in God’s presence, is over- j
coma by the awe-inspiring experi
ence.
Theologians, preachers and teach
ers have dared to speak swelling
words of disrespect concerning His
miraculous power, have denied the
deity of His Son, and have ques
tioned the authority of His Word.
Having sown the wind of unbelief,
they have reaped from the people
the whirlwind of irreverence, a be
littling of God, and a rejection of
His authority (Hos. 8:7).
Jacob was reminded of God’s im
mediate presence, "the Lord is in
this place.” The place of his vision
of heavenly things had special j
moaning to Jacob.
The thing that Jacob “found out \
that night was not that God visits j
man, but that God is with man '
wherever he i«. We expect to meet I
Him in the sanctuary, but He is near
us in the market place. Not alone
in the sanctuary, but where the mul
titude gathers in defiance of His law,
He is there” (G. Campbell Morgan).
This rich experience led Jacob to
HI. A Recognition of God’s Good
ness (vv. 20-22).
The God who would supply his 1
every need, who would watch over 1
him and keep him, was recognized i
by Jacob as being worthy of his
1 devotion, and he made a vow that
He should be his God (v. 21).
The grace and goodness of God
are intended to bring men to faith
; Him and devotion to His service.
Vet men can go on year after year,
the beneficiaries of all His bounty,
j and never so much as say, “Thank
you,” let alone recognize Him as
Lord.
Jacob made a very practical and
| workable decision to demonstrate
! the reality of his vow. He promised
I that one-tenth of all God gave him
i should be returned to Him,
Many have followed his example
and found blessing in giving a tithe
for the Lord’s work. Some who
count themselves far better than
poor, weak and tricky Jacob have
done far less to show their appreci
ation of God’s blessing.
Note also (hat Jacob raised a
stone of remembrance, and gave the
place a name which forever after
would recall not only to him. but
to posterity, the wonderful blessing
of that night. It is a great thing to
keep fresh the memory of the occa
sions when we have met God in spe
cial blessing.
Trickery and deception were
changed to truthfulness and devotion
when Jacob met God face to face.
The same blessed transformation
awaits those who meet our Lord and
Saviour Jesus Christ in faith. Have
i you met Him?
