Jacob And The House Of God

Let us muse today from Genesis 28:17-25 and Jacob’s source of possessions is found in the house of God. In verse 17 at Jacob’s ladder experience from heaven, he senses that this is the house of God and the gate of heaven. It is down at the house of God were we are often confronted with the eternal world and we realize how unimportant are the possessions we call mine. When one has a tight grip here and a loose grip on the world to come, God will come by and make an appearance, and we like Jacob in verse 16 will miss it. It is at this time Jacob begins to tithe.(verse 22) Tithing is an acknowledgement that God owns it all. Let us realize more clearly today that the source of all we have or don’t have is from the Lord.
