Day 30 — God Is with You (Genesis 28)
Jacob wasn’t searching for God—but God was already pursuing him. On the run, uncertain about his future and undeserving of grace, Jacob stopped for the night in an ordinary place. With nothing but a stone for a pillow, heaven opened. At Bethel, God met him—not with rebuke, but with promise.

Genesis 28 reminds us that God’s presence is not earned by good behavior or spiritual performance. It’s anchored in His faithfulness. Even when His people are wandering, struggling, or running from their past, the Lord remains near. He goes with us into unfamiliar territory and uncertain seasons.

You may feel unworthy, unsettled, or stuck in between what was and what will be—but take heart. The same God who met Jacob in the wilderness walks with you today. Heaven is closer than you think.
God is with you.
