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.” NIGHTMARE \ (■ i. ste. i 1111 l Nit—l just dreamed I had a job.

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.
