“Taste and See that the Lord is God; Blessed are those who take refuge in Him.” —Psalm 34:8

—Genesis 28:12

God always makes time for us.

—Genesis 28:15-16

One of the reasons we may feel God is not with us or that he has no time for us is this…WE DON’T RECOGNIZE that he IS with us!

Jacob responds (Genesis 28:17-22): 
 • Realized God was with Him 
 • He did some things to remind himself God was with him. 
 • He made a vow to God 
 • He gave a tenth back to God

God always makes time for us.

 —Exodus 2:7-9

God gave us gifts to make a difference.

—Exodus 2:10

What is your God given gift? 
Are you using it to help make a difference for God?

—Exodus 18:8-9
—Exodus 18:13-23
—Exodus 18:24

God makes us stronger together.

Who do you need to allow to speak into your life?

—Judges 5:1-3

We make God known when we share our story.

—Judges 4:17-21

Who will you tell about how God has worked in your life?

“Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good! Blessed is the man who takes refuge in him!” —Psalm 34:8

TAKEAWAY: Take refuge in God because He is always good.
