"...This is none other than the house of God; this is the gate of heaven." (Genesis 28:17b)
Are some places nearer to the Divine than others? Is any one place more holy than another? It seems so from this scripture reading, and it seems so in my experience. Still...if God is everywhere present, as I believe, and if God created all things and called them good, as the scriptures attest, then every place is in some sense holy. Every location is as near the Divine as every other location.
Thank You, God, for Your nearness.
When cousins marry...the tribe of Nahor of which both Jacob and Laban descended practice deceit, polygamy, slavery, adultery, greed, and some form of genetic magic/animal husbandry. THESE are the kind of people God chooses and blesses?!?!?!
So, God encourages me. Since God makes covenants with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. By grace God makes covenant with me, too.
Thank You, God, for Your grace.
