“Then Jacob awoke from his sleep and said, “Surely the LORD is in this place, and I did not know it” Genesis 28:16 (NASB). Have you been there, thinking that you were alone, only to find out later that the Lord was there? In your grief? In your rejection? In your loss? In your pain? In your confusion? In great struggles? The places you did not think He would be have been places that opened gates, through which the heavenly realm broke into your earthly realm. Praise Him!
He was afraid and said, “How awesome is this place! This is none other than the house of God, and this is the gate of heaven.” Genesis 28:17 (NASB)
