Jacob’s Source Of Possessions

Let us muse today from Genesis 28:11-13 and Jacob’s struggle with the source of his possessions. I want us  to see that the   source of all our possessions or from the Lord. In verse 11 we see the sunset which is often a picture of all we have the hope in of calling ours, coming to an end. Many speak of their possessions as that which I worked hard to get. Blessed day when the sunset on my thought that nothing I have, I worked for. In verse 12 a ladder appears from heaven. James said it best when he said every good and perfect gift cometh from above. In verse 13 God said to Jacob I will give you the land. He gives thru his Son freely all things to enjoy. Our God is the source of all both good and evil. Job said the Lord giveth, the Lord taketh away, blessed be the name of the Lord. He is the God who gives both good and bad.
