Kyle Norman “When Jacob awoke from his sleep, he thought, “Surely the Lord is in this place, and I was not aware of it.” He was afraid and said, “How awesome is this place! This is none other than the house of God; this is the gate of heaven.” ([Genesis 28:16-17]( Sometimes the most profound experiences of God’s presence occur within the ordinary places of over lives. God comes amid the regular and routine, catching us unawares. This is no truer than in the story of Jacob. One of the high points of his life with God is when he dreams of a ladder upon which the angels of God ascend and descend. Rising from his dream Jacob exults the presence of the Lord saying, “Surely the Lord is in this place!” He dedicates the spot to the Lord, and calls the place Bethel, meaning “The House of God”. Bethel becomes a recurring place of divine encounter throughout the Scripture.  [CONTINUE READING →](            You May Also Like:        [10 Halloween Costume Ideas for Christians to Shine the Light of Jesus](  Lindsey Brady What’s intended to be a holiday focused on evil can be a day that the light of Jesus shines the brightest.  [CONTINUE READING →](       [Dear Widow, it's Okay to Let Yourself Love Again](  Heidi Vegh Allow space for grief and memories to live in your home.
